Heat-resistant synthetic oils are said to enhance the bonding of rubber chains and maximise the viscoelasticity of the rubber compound, which helps reduce braking distances on wet or dry roads. The Ecsta DX compound also features silica to improve all-weather performance and wet traction.

This unique compound is molded into a sophisticated directional tread design that features a continuous center rib for constant road contact to enhance highway stability, along with tread blocks designed to provide uniform stiffness to maintain ride comfort throughout the life of the tyre. The tread blocks also feature an optimised pitch sequence resulting in variable pitch lengths to help minimise noise, while four wide circumferential and numerous sweeping intermediate grooves help evacuate water reducing the risk of hydroplaning. The tyre's structure includes high-tensile steel belts and a jointless nylon cap ply to help improve ride comfort and durability, while an undertread reduces unwanted heat buildup for consistent performance.
