| A luxurious ride brought to you by the use of Non-Vibrating Rubber |
| As per previous models, Special Non-Vibrating Rubber (NVR) is used in the base compound, resulting in a smoother and quieter ride.
|
| ¡°Universal Design¡± to improve tyre maintenance. |
| Behind ¡°Hybrid Technology II¡± is the idea that the key to making the most of a quality tyre is regular maintenance. In order to facilitate this, we used the concept of ¡°Universal Design¡± where relevant information is displayed in a way which is clear to anyone.

| Value-TRED used for increased durability |
| T the use of ¡°Value-TRED¡± which contains wear-resistant ¡°long-life polymers¡±, resulting in increased durability and thus more economically efficient.

| What the latest tread patterns mean in terms of tyre performance
|
 |
 Solid ribs |
A. Contribute to a reduction in uneven wear by supporting individual blocks
B. The rail-like ribs ensure straight line stability.
C. Effective in minimising noise by physically blocking its dissipation. |
 |
 Hidden Tie-bars |
| The hidden tie-bars connecting the blocks mitigate unnecessary movement and contribute to improved steering stability. In addition, they enhance the stiffness of the blocks and minimise uneven wear. |
 3in1 multi-pitch |
| The shoulder blocks are grouped in threes to reduce noise by dissipating the frequency range. The stiffness of the shoulder is also increased, maximising stability during cornering. |
 Wingfoot block |
| These ¡°Wingfoot¡± blocks, named so due to their similarity to the famous Goodyear logo, optimises the pressure distribution within the contact patch. |
