Outstanding Mileage

Robust and flexible - both qualities in one compound:

• The compound contains a customized network for strong and highly durable polymer connections to enable higher mileage, robust performance and less abrasion.
• The latest state of the art premium ingredients ensure increased interlocking and contact with the road surface for maximum grip and outstanding braking performance

Feature: Harmonized pattern layout

• The UltraContact tread pattern is designed to provide low abrasion with optimised wear shape.
• The combination of a high number of sipes and solid pattern ribs enables the right stiffness level for a well balanced pattern with enhanced stability.
• The footprint pressure is thus evenly distributed without any significant peaks.

  Exceptional Robustness

Protective Tyre Construction

• A long lasting compound is not the only key to a long tyre life.
• In order to enjoy the mileage benefit, the tyre robustness needs to be enhanced as well to prevent break-downs.
• Therefore, the tyre is equipped with a thicker and robust casing.
• In addition, more sizes are equipped with our new Flange Rib generation in order to better protect the carcass. 

 Superior Wet Performance and Low Noise

Superior Wet Performance

Feature: Chamfer-Sipe-Concept

• The pattern is equipped with a high amount of sipes for increased grip when braking, even on wet roads. 
• Each sipe has its unique shape in order to enable maximum water evacuation from the footprint. 
• In addition, they are designed with chamfers which further increase the wipe-out effect of water and ensure the road contact, the key criteria for top braking performance.

Low Noise

Feature: Noise Breakers

• Inspired by wave breakers which reduce the intensity and smooth the waves, the noise breakers have been developed to reduce noise wave emission.
• The refined elements interrupt the noise waves and contribute to low noise emission without compromising the water drainage.
