What is Premium SW?

Premium SW is our latest innovation and was developed in 5 years in response to the market. With a safety and performance focus, Premium SW reduces the rolling resistance up to 25%, thereby lowering fuel consumption and impact on the environment. With a wear enhanced up to 15%, Premium SW offers an improved handling and therefore a safer driving behavior.

As a last key benefits,and as a first in the global Truck Tire offer, Premium SW is the first silica to surpass Carbon Black capacity in Rolling-Resistance while tire durability remains the same.
