The Direction-Sport - speed and safety now in one powerful tread pattern.

Rugged shoulder lugs mean impressive cornering stability and increased safety even at high speeds. The continuous central rib ensures optimum straight-line stability and precise steering response.

Excellent handling and sporty driving fun

The tyre's extremely modern flat contour meant the ground pressure distribution could be optimised and the ground contact patch widened, providing greater effective contact between the tyre and the road. This results in considerably better transmission of the forces occurring during handling and braking in bends.

The even pressure on the tread lugs is what makes the Direction-Sport's optimum high-speed performance possible. The tread lugs warm up less in the process, which means the temperature-dependent stiffness of the tread compound remains consistent, even at high speed.

Impressive safety reserves in the rain and wet weather

The attractive, directionally-orientated tread pattern, with its 4 circumferential grooves and numerous lateral grooves reaching far into the tread centre, means you are sure to enjoy unadulterated summer driving pleasure, whilst at the same time having the reassurance of optimum protection.

A large number of gripping edges, plus the silica in the tread compound, provide additional high-level grip in the wet and shorter braking distances. That means you don't have to worry about aquaplaning any more.

The new Direction-Sport: Brilliant road holding and first-rate handling, even in tough bends. Safety is your benefit!
