Features and Benefits
- Upgraded EV tread compound technology with enhanced silica formulation: Specifically reformulated for electric vehicle applications, reducing rolling resistance to extend driving range while maintaining strong wet and dry grip performance — addressing the core demands of EV ownership in a single compound
- Circumferential V-shaped grooves for outstanding water drainage: The V-groove geometry channels water rapidly and efficiently away from the contact patch, reducing aquaplaning risk and maintaining confident wet weather grip and braking on New Zealand’s frequently wet roads.
- Strong centre ribs for handling stability: Rigid continuous centre ribs maintain consistent road contact and provide a stable, direct steering response — helping the tyre manage the instant torque delivery and weight distribution characteristics of electric vehicles.
- Variable-pitch noise-reduction pattern blocks: Tread blocks are arranged in a specifically varied pitch sequence to disrupt repetitive tyre noise, delivering a quieter and more comfortable driving experience — particularly important in near-silent electric vehicles where road noise is more noticeable.
- Sound-bolts in four circumferential grooves: Acoustic resonance is reduced within the main tread grooves, further minimising tyre noise and contributing to the refined, quiet cabin environment EV drivers expect.
- Staggered inner and outer lateral groove arrangement: The staggered positioning of lateral grooves reduces air pumping noise as the tread contacts the road surface, working in combination with the variable-pitch and sound-bolt technology for comprehensive noise reduction.
- Hybrid Silane patent compound technology: Optimises the tread compound’s molecular structure to improve grip, absorb road vibrations more effectively, and enhance the overall smoothness and comfort of the driving experience.
Nanometer Mixing Technology with high saturation pattern design: Improves the uniformity and density of the tread compound at a molecular level, delivering better wear resistance and increased tyre mileage — extending the value of the tyre over its full service life.
