CONT

Ce genre de dessin est devenu possible à cause du développement des microlamelles et des microrainures. Celles-ci sont quasiment invisibles à l'œil nu, mais elles effectuent un travail convaincant dans l'évacuation de l'eau et de la gadoue, ce qui améliore considérablement l'adhérence du pneu sur chaussée détrempée, enneigée ou verglacée.
