On that you are probably right.

I always thought the Dual Aligned Compound was two different compounds.

The BT-010 also features Bridgestones famous Dual Aligned Compound (DAC) technology, which allows variable alignment of the molecules in a single sheet of rubber. This has enabled the central tread area to be optimised for wear resistance under acceleration and braking, while the shoulder gives strong cornering ability. And because only one tread rubber is used, performance remains constant throughout the life of the tyre. Bridgestone's hydroplaning simulation software has contributed to a front tread pattern design in which all the grooves are placed to dispel water most effectively. In addition, the front blocks maintain continuous, unbroken contact with the road surface.
