Grip is obviously very important in a tire, but longevity matters too. To that end, Bridgestone incorporates its 3LC Dual Compound construction on both tires, placing a durable compound in the center for mileage and soft compounds on the shoulders for maximum grip while leaned over. The difference maker is in the rear, where the hard compound found in the center actually lies on top of the soft compound on the shoulders, providing both performance and durability. The Silica-rich compound in both front and rear tires allows excellent warm-up times and wet weather grip.
