THE PERFECT BLEND OF RACE PROVEN
PERFORMANCE AND STREET CRED.
New tire performance past 50% wear.
Large shoulder blocks. Uniform stiffness across the
tread. And a street-tough high dispersion silica compound. It adds up to a long-lasting, even-wearing tire
that keeps its “like new” edge even after half worn.
Ultra high performance in the dry.
Large shoulder blocks and solid center ribs have
the stability to keep rubber in contact with the road.
And because the tire wears more slowly and evenly,
superior handling lasts longer, too.
Quiet for the life of the tread.
When you vary the block shape and size around
the tire, you cancel out road noise and provide a
quieter ride. Rotation Wear Indicators tell you when
to rotate your tires—so they stay quiet.
Superior stick in the wet.
Directional shoulder blocks and four straight center
grooves pump water out of the footprint—especially
while cornering. It’s all about resistance to hydroplaning and getting better grip in the rain.
The unidirectional SPT meets or
beats old performance
levels in all handling categories
with huge gains in wet road performance.
