The design of the carcass and the composition of the rubber mixture were developed taking into account the sports orientation of the tire. This model is equipped with a multi-layer steel carcass, which gave the tire not only high strength but also excellent elasticity. At the same time, special components were added to the rubber mixture, ensuring excellent grip, low heat generation, and high resistance to wear.
