6. PRODUCT FEATURE [ 2 ] ～ New Tread Design ① Asymmetric 5 rib pattern ② Wide and straight grooves ③ Long lateral grooves Achieved higher grip on dry road thanks to asymmetric pattern where higher land ratio of outer blocks withstands increased load at cornering. ② Wide and straight grooves Efficient 4 straight and wide grooves located in tread area enhance good wet performance as ZE512 (directional pattern) does. ③ Long lateral grooves in center Laid out toward straight grooves, Long lateral grooves contribute to clear water under center rib and achieved drainage equal to ZE512 (directional pattern). ① Asymmetric 5 rib pattern ④ In tie-bar sipes ④ In tie-bar sipes This new wet grip device depresses noise as well when wear proceeds. ⑤ Irregular wear 　　 control tie-bar ⑤ Irregular wear control tie-bar Tie-bars equipped just outside the contact patch suppress irregular wear.

7. PRODUCT FEATURE [ 3 ] ～ Asymmetric 5 rib pattern Asymmetric pattern Asymmetric 5 rib pattern Sea ratio increased to enhance drainage effect under center rib area. Reinforced rigid middle rib resists to yield at the corner for quicker turning. Sidewall indication Land Ratio ： 53% Land Ratio ： 47% Wear appearance Dry performance oriented Wet performance oriented Land ratio is inched up in outer side to achieve higher dry grip performance at cornering by withstanding the centrifugal force. New 30% worn 70% worn

8. PRODUCT FEATURE [ １ ] ～ New material and construction New Tread Compound High Rigidity Construction Enhanced Wet Grip Enhanced Dry Stability New Functional Polymer Wide Breaker Jointless band Current Polymer High Behavior Polymer More bondages in new functional polymer furnish stronger tenacity to provide better wet grip High Loading Silica Compound Carbon Black Silica Bead apex Polymer Polymer Polymer Polymer High density casing ply Bead core Carbon Coupling Agent Silica Carbon *2 ply construction for reinforced or low profile tyres Pin-point contact makes adhesion between polymer and silica stronger and its end result is good wet grip performance Better Wet Grip High-speed Steering Stability Achieved!!

9. PRODUCT FEATURE [ 4 ] ～Special eye & self maintenance Special eye ( Rotation alarm ) Special eye changes its shape as tread wears. They will alarm when rotation comes round. Special eye 16 Special eyes ( 8 in each side ) are located circumferentially to be smart enough to tell you tyre rotation time draw near. A special eye changes itself twice from ○ to □ as tread wears. 1st Rotation when special eye turns □ 2nd Rotation when □ disappear. New ( ○ ) Self Maintenance mechanism Extended duration of fundamental function through life. Dual tread system works automatically. Anti aging agent seeps from reservoir tread to cap tread. It controls the aging of tread rubber due to environmental reason (ultra violet ray, ozone or oxygen), and repeated bending while in service, hence, maintains tyre’s fundamental functions during its life. Hydrogen & oxygen Aging Heat Anti-aging agent Cap tread Reservoir tread
