Heat generation is a common cause of rapid tire wear and even tire failure. While this heat may be a natural result of friction the effect it has on your tire can be undesirable.

SIPING reduces the heat and its effect on your tire by allowing it to cool. As depicted in the illustrations above the SIPED tire runs cooler due to the heat dispersing effect of the SIPES themselves. Much like your cars radiator, heat is isolated into smaller groups and air passing between these areas cause a natural cooling effect.
