used on the S21 in 2016 (Ultimate Eye is basi-
cally a rolling tire dyno), the new T31 shows it's
got a bigger adhesion and smaller slip area,
which gives the double barrel win of better wet
cornering grip and faster response time in the
dry. The contact patch is up seven percent over
the T30 Evo from 0° to full lean, and more tire
on the ground means you can hit the upcoming
corner faster and safer.
In regards to the wet weather performance
(one we didn't get to explore on our test), the
land/sea ratio in the shoulder has been in-
creased to disperse more water, while the ratio
has been slightly decreased in the center.
