The PARADA Spec-X radial’s all-season tread compound is molded into an aggressive directional tread design that features linked shoulder blocks, variably sized intermediate tread blocks and two continuous center ribs to combine acceleration, braking and cornering competence with a comfortable ride. A wide circumferential center groove and sweeping lateral grooves provide water evacuation to resist hydroplaning and increase wet traction. The tire's structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by spiral-wrapped nylon cord to provide strength, uniformity and durability on top of a polyester cord body that enhances ride quality.
