Cool performance - from tread to core

This balance is supported by three advanced technologies. The Twin Force Tread features dedicated zones for dry and wet grip, supporting stable and responsive handling in changing conditions. The wear-resistant Hydro Grip Compound supports braking performance and durability, while the Power Lock Core provides structural support for stable handling at higher speeds. Together, these technologies create the composed and controlled driving feel of Powerproof 2.
