These ADVAN S.T. tyres are a high-level balance between high-speed capability and driving safety and comfort, which is required by new-generation vehicles. It offers a strong grip performance under a variety of conditions by combining W-shaped directional tread pattern with a tread compound that has been developed specifically for the ADVAN S.T. to achieve low temperature-dependence capability, while attaining high-level driving comfort through the use of the "5-pitch variation" technology-based pitch sequence. The tyre structure offers both a handling performance based on a consideration of low-position gravity center specific to new-generation vehicles.
