Pattern design

Zigzag traction grooves and optimized multi-angular sipe

Improves traction and braking performance by expanding the point of intersection through 4 zigzag grooves and an optimized unique sipe design without chipping or cutting.

Polygonal block and step edge groove

Improved braking performance through maximizing the edge effect. → Enhances handling.

Wide tread width

A wide tread profile provides stability and uniformity which reduces distortion, delivering outstanding handling performance and improved tread life.

Conventional
AM09+

Closed shoulder design and shoulder lug

A closed shoulder design is adopted for improved driving stability and an even wear shoulder lug helps to reduce tread temperature.

Stone ejector

Stone ejectors ensure grooves are kept clear at all times by using an additional rubber material to force unwanted debris out.

High structure carbon black compound

Improved heat generation is achieved by applying a high structure carbon black compound which increases fuel efficiency and durability.

Innovative Mixing System (IMS)

Innovative Mixing System (IMS) minimizes the breakdown and oxidation of polymer chains and has a higher dispersion degree of carbon black. The effects of IMS help to strengthen the bonding force between the carbon black and rubber to ensure longer mileage and to lower the heat generation of compounds for improved fuel efficiency.

Stiffness Control Contour Theory Technology
(SCCT Technology)

SCCT Technology is designed to reduce profile deformation. If the carcass profile is not kept constant, the internal force on the carcass will be concentrated on a specific point, belt edge or carcass turn up edge. In contrast, SCCT Technology controls the dispersion of internal force for better durability.
