This Accelera tire sports a particular tread pattern and compound blend, enabling it to promote superb winter-weather traction. The ideal tread pattern features elongated and angled tread blocks and a dense siping pattern to generate numerous biting edges to strongly grip snow- and ice-covered roads. Moreover, the studdable X-Grip tires are pinned for studs, which gives them the ability to increase the number of biting edges for better performance on winter roads. In addition, the studded X-Grip tires are also available on the tire market.

The Accelera X-Grip can withstand freezing temperatures, thanks to a durable compound blend that maintains the rubber's flexibility. The model's directional tread features a unique groove pattern. It allows the tire to actively drain slush and water from underneath the footprint, preventing these elements from cutting off the tire's surface contact. In this manner, the tire lowers the possibility of hydroplaning and boosts driving safety levels in winter and wet-weather conditions.

The optimized tread pattern ensures superior handling in winter weather. The ideal road-to-rubber ratio and the plenty of biting edges make sure the X-Grip has consistent contact with the driving surface. This boosts the model's steering responsiveness, meaning the X-Grip is fast and precise in its steering responses to the driver's instructions. This gives the driver full control over the vehicle. The tread design and the constant road contact evenly distribute driving pressure along the footprint as well, preserving the tire's structural integrity during the drive.

The directional tread pattern upgrades the tire's cornering and braking capabilities. The special shoulder blocks enhance the Accelera X-Grip's cornering, improving maneuvering throughout the drive. The ideal tread, with the optimized blocks and the dense siping pattern, generates friction when braking, shortening the tire's stopping distance. These elements increase driving safety levels.

Unlike touring models, the high performance sizes are optimized to resist heat and pressure accumulation along the tread area. Their sturdy structure prevents deformation during the drive, securing the tire's safe high speed applications.

Like many other Accelera tires, the X-Grip features the DeltaMax Technology. In other words, the brand uses advanced materials and particular processes to manufacture its tires. One of the benefits of this technology is that the Accelera X-Grip's design makes it a fuel-efficient tire.

A tire is fuel-efficient if it manages to reduce the vehicle's fuel intake levels. The X-Grip's better fuel economy is guaranteed with lighter internal construction, which decreases the rolling resistance. It is a force that affects the tires, impacting how much energy is needed to sustain a constant forward motion. By lessening the rolling resistance, the Accelera X-Grip minimizes the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
