Application of Streamlined 3D Block for Superb Drainage
Outer sides of grooves are given a rounded profile to channel water free of shoulder blocks; better drainage means optimum performance.
Patent Pending Arrowhead Pattern Block Edge Regulates Water Flow to Resist Hydroplaning
No fear of hydroplaning as a unique arrowhead pattern block edge forces water aside, much like a boat through water. Effective regulation means a safer ride, even through wet conditions.
Four Grooves for Best Drainage
Four wide grooves adopted through computer simulation fine tuning make for ideal drainage to ensure a strong and safe ride in wet weather.
