Other highlights include:
- A rayon-matrix body ply that offer responsive handling and improves steering on dry roads.
- An advanced asymmetric tread design with solid center ribs that provides constant contact to the road surface, enhancing steering and cornering.
- A contour profile that provides high-speed stability by an improved cross-sectional shape, made by rayon and polyamide cap plies, provides even pressure on the road surface.
- A quiet ride thanks to Yokohama's "silent sipe" technology — distinctively shaped sipes on the tire's inner ribs that help reduce external vehicle noise.
