Hydro Grooves

The longitudinal ribs next to the inner shoulder are dominated by the deep diagonal grooves that stabilise driving behaviour. At the same time, this new Hydro Grooves innovation effectively prevents aquaplaning by clearing the water from between the driving surface and the tire and routing it into the longitudinal grooves.

The innovation also guarantees safe handling in rainy weather. Surge grooves were also designed on the transverse main grooves of the outer shoulder to provide additional protection against the dangers of hydroplaning.
