Innovative, asymmetrical tread design provides optimum balance of grip and performance (55 series and lower sizes). Large, stable, interconnected tread blocks provide exceptional dry cornering grip and stability. Independent inner tread blocks with open shoulder grooves maximize water dispersion and All-Season grip.
Superb wet handling. The sharp directional tread pattern allows for rapid water drainage, so you can enjoy control in heavy rain conditions. Open shoulder grooves allow water to disperse quickly, protecting against aquaplaning.
Excellent traction in all weather conditions. The asymmetric tread pattern gives you an excellent balance of wet and dry performance. Dry cornering and grip are enhanced by interconnected tread blocks.
High driving comfort. The tread pattern of the SP Sport 5000 minimizes interior and exterior noise for greater driving comfort. Tire shape is consistent at motorway speeds, giving you a smooth and stable ride.
Exclusive, High-Performance. All-Season tread compound (pat. pend.) optimizes grip, control, energy absorption, and treadwear in a wide range of driving and weather conditions. Full-width, twin-cut steel belts with Jointless Nylon Band for long-term integrity. Full-face, cross-cut siping provides multiple biting edges forgreater wet grip and All-Season traction.
Four deep, wide, circumferential tread grooves combined with sweepin intermediate tread grooves for excellent water dispersion, improved wet grip, and anti-hydroplaning capability. Max Flange Shield protects expensive alloy wheels from curb scuffing damage (Available in select sizes). Sophisticated serrated black sidewall design enhances vehicle appearance.
Specific bead seat system. Strengthens the link between tire and rim for a more precise driving experience. Like the grip between your hand and the steering wheel, the Specific Bead Seat System enhances control and conveys outstanding road feedback.Benefits Enhanced road feedback; greater stability and precision.
Jointless Belt (JLB). A Hybrid Overlay Technology that reduces circumferential deformations at high speeds.Benefits Superior high speed stability; smooth and even wear.
Maximum Flange Shield (MFS). A rim flange protection system. MFS employs a profile of rubber that runs around the circumference of the tire above the wheel flange. This creates a protective buffer zone.* Benefits Protects expensive alloy wheels from kerbing.* Only available in select sizes
