Verified Key Features
🏆 Advanced Bi-Compound Engineering
This rear application features a smart dual-compound layout to guarantee balanced performance. The central 20% profile band relies on a structurally reinforced rubber matrix designed to minimize highway flat-spotting and optimize mileage. The remaining 80% split evenly across both shoulder zones uses a high-silica compound for instant warm-up and premium traction at extreme lean angles.
📐 Uniform Contact Patch (Multi-Radius Contour)
Featuring a dedicated round-shape multi-radius contour design. This carcass architecture provides a highly uniform contact area against the pavement, drastically reducing localized tire flexing, ensuring regular wear patterns, and maintaining peak safety down to the wear bars.
🌧️ Evolved Rain & Wet Drainage Tracks
The tread pattern utilizes an advanced design evolved from the classic Angel ST system. The specific alignment and depth of the water grooves act as evacuation channels, pumping surface water away from the contact patch to safeguard against hydroplaning on rain-slicked or low-temperature roads.
