The ECO605 is a max performance summer tire designed to complement the performance of sports cars, sports coupes and sport sedans. The ECO605 was developed to provide good traction along with responsive and predictable dry and wet road handling. The ECO605 features a high grip tread compound molded into an asymmetric tread design. A continuous center rib, large tread blocks and stable shoulder elements provide responsive handling, high-speed stability and traction on dry roads, while circumferential and lateral tread grooves are aimed to pump water out from under the tire's footprint to minimize hydroplaning and aid wet traction. A continuous circumferential rib adjacent to the outside shoulder blocks enhances wear quality to help reduce noise throughout the life of the tire, especially on cars with alignment setting that specify negative camber.
