Sidewall profile shape

The new sidewall profile absorbs various impact forces from road surface and weight of the vehicle by the whole part of the sidewall. It is preventing the generation of vibration and improving silent performance.
Shoulder profile shape

Redesigned groove arrangement and shoulder shape
Realised smooth contact shape, preventing uneven wear and keeping high level silent performance over a long period.
