Performance-Reinforced Tread Compound The Zeon XST tread compound is specifically engineered to optimize all-around tire performance. Capitalizing on technology from our all-weather performance lines, this compound�s unique polymer system provides solid wet and dry traction and allows ample snow capability. Spiral Wound Nylon Overwrap (s.n.o.w.) Spiral wound nylon overwrap combats centrifugal force under high-speed applications. This ability inhibits tire growth and maintains stability and carcass integrity across the entire speed range of the tire. Optimized Pitch Sequence A varied number of shoulder elements reduces noise frequency for a quieter ride. M+S Rated

Performance tread Increased tire-to-road contact which leads to improvements in treadwear and handling. Flat tread profile Optimum footprint shape helps distribute the vehicle load improving handling and overall wear. M+S Rated

Optimized Pitch Sequence by Size Industry-wide, typically, the same pitch sequence is applied throughout a tire line. But the Discoverer H/T Plus varies the number of shoulder elements based on tire size which reduces noise frequency, allowing a quiet ride in large diameter sizes. All Weather Tread "See through" grooves, wide lateral traction slots and high sipe density provide excellent all-weather performance. M + S Rated

Tapered tread This design feature puts deep tread in the center and slightly shallower tread in the shoulders. This puts more rubber down in the fastest wearing part of the tire, the center. The result is less weight and improved wet handling. Double shoulder tread element The shoulder tread block is divided into two harmonically mated segments. The calculated stagger of the tread element defeats noise frequency, allowing a quiet ride. Optimized tire profile The slightly rounded mold profile of the Zeon 2XS balances wet traction and long tread life.

Directional Tread Designed to perform best when rotating in the specified direction, this pattern cuts through surface water to prevent hydroplaning. Directional capability helps provide outstanding traction and handling. Performance Engineered Package This performance radial combines spiral wound nylon overwrap, steel belts, and a polyester cord body in a solid, high-tech construction package to meet car enthusiasts' demands for responsive handling. H-Speed Rating This performance radial meets H-rated speed criteria of 130 MPH on indoor wheel tests. M + S Rated
