R283A Ecopia™ Improvements & Innovations
Tread Improvements & Innovations
- Fuel-Efficient Tread Design
- Promotes low rolling resistance for excellent fuel economy.
- Cross-Rib Sipes
- Improve traction by slicing through water for a solid grip on wet roads.
- Stress-Relief Rib Sipes
- Fight irregular wear along main ribs by absorbing rib edge stresses in the footprint for long, even wear.
- Optimized Tread Volume
- Provides exceptional removal mileage through wide ribs that put more rubber in contact with the road.
- Defense Groove™ Structure
- Helps create uniform pressure at the shoulder to minimize edge wear for longer tread life.
Tire Improvements & Innovations
- NanoPro-Tech™ Compound
- Patented NanoPro-Tech polymer technology limits energy loss for improved rolling resistance and optimum fuel efficiency.
- Fuel Saver Sidewall
- Limits energy loss using a proprietary sidewall compound to help conserve fuel, both when new and retreaded.
- IntelliShape™ Sidewall Design
- Contains less bead filler volume, reducing tire weight and minimizing rolling resistance for enhanced fuel efficiency.
- Tough Sidewall Protection
- Thick ribs on both sidewalls fight curbing damage to protect the casing.
- Shallow Tread Depth
- Fights tread squirm for lower rolling resistance. The 11/32″ tread depth also combats irregular wear for long life.
