Tire Performances:
Designed for the Chevrolet Corvette
Features and Benefits
- Steel belt construction - Adds durability and resists punctures - Spiral Wrap - Encircles the whole tire with a continuous nylon wrap , helping the tire hold its original shape to improve high speed capability. - Silica-based tread compound - Provides outstanding wet performance. - O-Bead - Improves uniformity and ride comfort through use of a single continuous strand of cable in the bead construction - L.L. Carbon (Long Link) - Helps improve tread wear and resist cracking, chipping and tearing through the use of a special long length carbon structure - Circumferential tread grooves - Evacuates and channels water efficiently to help reduce hydroplaning and to improve wet traction - Summer Tread Design - Offers tenacious grip and superior handling on wet or dry roads for driving enthusiasts. - Directional Tread Pattern - Maximizes both wet and dry performance, as well as other tire characteristics. By specifying that the tread pattern is to be mounted on the vehicle in a single direction only, the many design compromises found in conventional tires which can be mounted in two directions are eliminated. This provides the ability to include a wider variety of specific performance characteristics such as high resistance to hydroplaning in each tire. - Reinforced Sidewall - Support the weight of the vehicle and passenger even with a loss of air pressure with thicker sidewall, generally designed for RFT tires, made of special heat-resistant rubber - Lateral Grooves - Efficient evacuation and channeling of water that helps reduce hydroplaning and improves wet traction - CO-CS (Computer Optimized Component System) - Maximizes tire performance by optimizing the appropriate combination of tread design, casing shape, materials, and construction.
