PRODUCT FEATURE [ 2 ] ~ New Tread Design
① Asymmetric 5 rib pattern
Achieved higher grip on dry road thanks to asymmetric pattern where higher land ratio of outer blocks withstands increased load at cornering.
② Wide and straight grooves
③ Long lateral grooves in center
⑤ Irregular wear control tie-bar
④ In tie-bar sipes
② Wide and straight grooves ③ Long lateral grooves
④ In tie-bar sipes
⑤ Irregular wear
control tie-bar
Efficient 4 straight and wide grooves located in tread area enhance good wet performance as ZE512 (directional pattern) does.
Laid out toward straight grooves, Long lateral grooves contribute to clear water under center rib and achieved drainage equal to ZE512 (directional pattern).
This new wet grip device depresses noise as well when wear proceeds.
Tie-bars equipped just outside the contact patch suppress irregular wear.

Land ratio is inched up in outer side to achieve higher dry grip performance at cornering by withstanding the centrifugal force.
Sea ratio increased to enhance drainage effect under center rib area.
Reinforced rigid middle rib resists to yield at the corner for quicker turning.

PRODUCT FEATURE [ 4 ] ~ Special eye & self maintenance
Self Maintenance mechanism
Special eye
New ( ○ )1st Rotation when special eye turns □
2nd Rotation when □ disappear.
Special eye changes its shape as tread wears. They will alarm when rotation comes round.
16 Special eyes ( 8 in each side ) are located circumferentially to be smart enough to tell you tyre rotation time draw near.
A special eye changes itself twice from ○ to □ as tread wears.
Extended duration of fundamental function through life.
Special eye ( Rotation alarm )
Cap tread Anti-aging agent
Reservoir tread
AgingHeat
Hydrogen & oxygen
Dual tread system works automatically.
Anti aging agent seeps from reservoir tread to cap tread. It controls the aging of tread rubber due to environmental reason (ultra violet ray, ozone or oxygen), and repeated bending while in service, hence, maintains tyre’s fundamental functions during its life.
