Features and Benefits
- Reinforced runflat sidewall construction: Self-supporting reinforced sidewalls bear the vehicle’s weight after a complete loss of tyre pressure, allowing continued driving at reduced speeds — removing the need for a spare tyre and eliminating the risk of being stranded roadside after a puncture
- Continued mobility after puncture: Enables continued driving for up to 80km at speeds under 80km/h after a puncture or complete pressure loss, providing the critical window to reach a tyre shop or safe location safely and without drama
- High-grip silica compound with advanced mixing technology: Improves wet braking performance by 8% over the previous generation while reducing rolling resistance — delivering improved safety in wet conditions alongside better fuel efficiency
- Asymmetric tread pattern with 10% enlarged contact patch: Increases the rubber-to-road contact area for superior dry handling, stronger cornering grip, and more confident longitudinal and lateral traction
- Four circumferential water evacuation grooves with optimised lateral groove depths: Rapidly channels water away from the contact patch to resist aquaplaning and maintain wet grip, with groove depths carefully balanced to minimise trade-offs between wet and dry performance
- Three strong wide tread ribs: Maintain continuous road contact for enhanced steering precision, consistent mileage, and a stable, composed feel through corners and under braking
- Groove chamfer design: Spreads the contact patch under braking to increase grip precisely when it matters most, contributing to shorter, more confident stopping distances
- 9% improved wear resistance with new tread compound: Extends tyre life over the previous generation — a particularly meaningful benefit in a runflat tyre where replacement costs are typically higher
- Lightweight rayon casing with wide steel belt layer and high stiffness bead filler: Contributes to better handling precision, steering response, and high-speed controllability — keeping the tyre stable and accurate even under the additional weight of reinforced runflat sidewalls
- Optimised pitch design with anti-air resistance sidewall and angled lateral grooves: Reduces road noise through three complementary mechanisms, delivering a quieter, more refined cabin experience that matches the premium vehicles this tyre is designed for
- Visual Alignment Indicator (VAI) system: Provides a visible cue when wheel alignment changes over time, helping protect against premature or uneven tyre wear and prompting alignment checks before tyre life is compromised
