New tread patterns, constructions, compounds, and profiles increase ride comfort, grip and mileage.
Multi-Tread™ (MT) technology in the rear tire utilizes a high-mileage compound in the center and high-grip compounds on the shoulders.
Performance Compound Layers Progressive (PCL Progressive) technology accelerates tire warm-up and allows the RSIV to maintain its high-performance throughout its lifespan.
Front and rear compounds with Hi Silica X and Fine Carbon increases mileage, wet grip and stopping performance.
Slim High Bead Apex enhances tire performance by reducing rigidity and improving shock absorption of the sidewall.
A new Bead Profile inhibits float from the bead area on the rim, which improves traction and slide control by minimizing buckling at full lean angle.
Optimized profiles and tread patterns create more nimble and neutral handling, improve wear characteristics and wet-weather performance, and reduce rigidity.
