- Sidewall Insert:A fabric insert in the sidewall adds extra rigidity, further improving the tire’s lifespan and handling.
- Optimized Tread Profile:An updated tread profile and specialized polymers improve traction and reduce rolling resistance, especially beneficial for electric vehicles.
- K-Silent Foam Insert:Some sizes are available with a K-Silent foam insert that reduces resonant noise by up to 5dB.
- Enhanced Construction and Profile:New high-strength, ultra-light hybrid components minimize tire distortion during high-power acceleration, improving driving stability, wet grip, and braking.
- Optimized Tread Pitch Arrangement:Helps to reduce road noise.
Performance:
- Wet and Dry Grip:The PS71 is designed for strong performance in both wet and dry conditions.
- Handling:Provides agile and responsive handling, contributing to a refined driving experience.
- Durability:The tire’s construction and materials contribute to its durability and long lifespan.
