Sport Bias
  • The V-rated GT501 features bias-ply and bias-belted construction and incorporates a radial-style tread pattern for contemporary styling and a larger footprint.


  • An optimized profile creates a larger contact patch for increased cornering confidence and smooth side-to-side transitions.


  • Increased tread-to-void ratio delivers superior grip in dry conditions and a high level of grip in wet weather.


  • Deep center-tread depth provides improved wear characteristics and enhanced water clearance.


  • Rear compound increases wear resistance and grip.

Note: When new tires are fitted, they should not be subjected to sudden acceleration, hard cornering, maximum power or braking for at least 100 miles. Failure to do so may result in loss of control and serious injury. The 100 mile run-in is required to adjust to the feel of new tires versus the worn tires.
