Features and Benefits
- Enlarged squared tread profile with durable compound: Increases the tyre’s road contact area and extends tread life by up to 12% compared to the previous generation — a meaningful real-world benefit for operators focused on keeping running costs down
- Advanced cutting-edge filler and flexible rubber compound: Optimises the balance between durability and grip, delivering a long-wearing tyre that doesn’t compromise on wet or dry performance over its service life
- Slim bead fillers with optimised design: Reduces stress around the bead area during cornering and under load, improving long-term durability and structural integrity — particularly valuable for vans that frequently operate at or near maximum payload
- Foldable belt-end tape wrapping lower steel belt edges: Shields the high-stress belt-end zones from internal damage during high-speed running, contributing to improved driving stability and extended casing life
- Three wide circumferential grooves: Efficiently channel water away from the contact patch, reducing the risk of aquaplaning on wet roads and maintaining reliable grip and braking confidence in rain
- 3D lateral grooves: Improve traction and braking performance in wet conditions and light snow, adding versatility for vans operating year-round in variable New Zealand weather
- Stiff shoulder blocks: Contribute to shorter braking distances on dry roads and promote even tread wear across the full contact patch, extending overall tyre life
- Solid centre rib: Reduces road noise for a more comfortable cabin experience and improves straight-line tracking stability — important for van drivers covering long distances
- Reinforced sidewall construction: Provides additional protection against sidewall damage and improves handling stability when carrying heavy or uneven loads — a practical advantage for commercial operators where overloading can occur
