G80 - G70: FEATURES AND BENEFITS1. The three central grooves allow an efficient water

dispersion

=> high grip in wet conditions and reduction of the risk of aquaplaning

2. The combination of two stable central ribs and the flat contour ensure a precise steering response and straight line stability

=> optimisation of the handling performance.

3. The stiff shoulder blocks and the multi-directional siped tread allow a wide surface contact of the tread,

=> noise reduction and better comfort

=> avoidance of irregular wear of the tread and longer life of the tyre

1. The combination of the wide circumferential and lateral grooves of the shoulder blocks allow quick displacement of the water from the contact patch

=> driving stability on wet surfaces and prevention from aquaplaning

2. The two stable central ribs and the shoulders allow precise steering response and straight line stability

=> good dry handling performance

3. The tread contour allows wider contact of the tread with the ground and reduces vibrations

=> comfort through smooth, low noise ride

=> longer tread life; more mileage

* Pattern of the V/W range


1. The combination of the four wide central grooves and the full depth lateral drainage grooves of the shoulder blocks allow rapid water clearance and drainage

=> higher safety and grip in wet conditions and prevention from aquaplaning

2. Three siped central ribs and the square tread contour provide fast and precise steering response

=> high grip level during cornering, lane-changing, and overtaking manoeuvres

3. The shoulders allow a wider and better contact with the ground

=> reduction of the noise level and comfort

=> regular wear of the tread; longer life of the tyre

1. The wide central grooves and the directional V-shaped lateral drainage grooves of the shoulder blocks allow fast water displacement from the contact patch

=> Stability on wet surface and reduction of the risk of aquaplaning

2. The stiff shoulders of the tread provide fast and precise steering response and straight line stability

=> high grip level / handling optimisation

3. The flat tread design allow a wider contact of the blocks with the surface

=> noise and vibrations reduction; better comfort

=> increase of mileage

3. Attractive and sporty look of the tread

1. The combination of the three wide central and the lateral grooves optimise the dispersion of water, and slush

=> high grip and protection against aqua- and slush planning

2. The two wave-shaped siped central ribs and the flat tread contour provide straightline driving and cornering

=> handling optimisation

3. The wave-shaped sipes of the block provide outstanding grip and allow shorter braking distance on snow-covered and icy roads

=> high traction and grip on wet surface as well as on snow or slush; reduction of the risk of lateral sliding
