The asymmetric ribbed pattern and the high-density siping placement and the winter compound boost the winter weather grip on the road surface. The high-density sinusoidal siping placement upgrades the number of biting edges gripping the ice- and snow-covered road surfaces. The compound, on the other hand, keeps the rubber's flexibility in freezing temperatures, enhancing the traction in winter conditions. The tread features four wide circumferential grooves preventing hydroplaning by channeling water and slush from the footprint, keeping the surface contact and further enhancing the wet weather grip.
