Features and Benefits
- Dry Contact Plus technology for superior dry handling: An adaptive contact patch combined with an optimised tread cavity increases the tyre’s effective contact area on dry roads, delivering improved grip, reactivity, and handling precision — keeping the SUV feeling sharp, agile, and connected to the road in all dry conditions.
- Wet Braking Pro technology for confident wet performance: An innovative resin-enhanced compound increases micro-contact between the tyre and wet road surfaces, delivering better grip and significantly shorter braking distances in damp and wet conditions — a meaningful safety benefit for heavy SUVs where wet stopping distances are a critical safety consideration.
- Asymmetric tread pattern for quick response and cornering traction: The asymmetric tread layout provides quick steering response and maximum cornering traction — with the outer section optimised for dry grip and lateral stability, and the inner section focused on water evacuation and wet weather safety.
- Adaptive tread compound for consistent performance: A flexible compound engineered to maintain tyre pliability across varying temperatures maximises rubber-to-road contact at all times, delivering consistent grip, braking confidence, and handling stability in the variable conditions New Zealand SUV drivers encounter year-round.
- High load rating for SUV demands: Engineered specifically for the higher weights and load requirements of modern SUVs and crossovers, providing the structural strength and load-carrying capacity that SUV applications demand without compromising handling or ride quality.
- Low rolling resistance for improved efficiency: Optimised compound and construction reduce rolling resistance to improve fuel efficiency — particularly relevant for large, heavier SUVs where rolling resistance has a meaningful impact on fuel consumption and, for electric SUVs, driving range.
- EV ready: Engineered to handle the increased weight and instant torque delivery of electric and plug-in hybrid SUVs, with compound and construction characteristics that support improved range and manage the unique demands of EV drivetrains.
- SoundComfort technology (select fitments): An acoustic foam layer minimises road noise resonance for a noticeably quieter, more refined cabin experience — matching the premium interior comfort expected from luxury SUVs and crossovers.
- SealTech puncture sealing technology (select fitments): An internal sealant layer automatically seals tread punctures up to 5mm, allowing continued driving after a minor puncture — valuable peace of mind for SUV drivers who may not carry a spare.
- OEM fitment on leading premium SUVs: Chosen as original equipment on the Porsche Macan, Porsche Cayenne, BMW X3, X4, X5, and X6, confirming the Asymmetric 6 SUV meets the exacting performance standards of the world’s most demanding premium SUV manufacturers.
