Compound Selection & Construction Overview
1. Choose Base Compound.
Start with the K-SERIES high performance road compound, engineered for low rolling resistance and excellent tread wear resistance, delivering a 27% improvement in tread wear over the Kriterium.
2. Tune for Application.
Introduce a innovative puncture resistant base layer compound to further enhance tread puncture resistance, with minimal impact on durability, rolling resistance, and overall ride performance.
3. Define Construction.
Utilize the K-SERIES high performance road compound across the center and shoulder in a single-compound construction, with a puncture-resistant base layer beneath the center tread, where on-road flats from foreign debris are most common.
