The RainMax 2 in detail

Protection against aquaplaning
The arrow shaped groove structure combined with three large circumferential channels promotes smooth water flow, resulting in excellent protection against aquaplaning.

Excellent wet breaking
An increased number of sipes and gripping edges help cut through the water film with the windscreen wiper effect, resulting in excellent wet weather braking.

Higher mileage and fuel efficient
Optimised stiffness in the tread ribs and lateral grooves gives even pressure distribution over the contact patch resulting in a long service life.
