The model will, however, not perform well in winter, as the tire compound loses its good traction in colder temperatures. The circumferential grooves in the tread pattern prevent dangerous hydroplaning by eliminating water from below the tire footprint, improving the model's safety in wet weather conditions.

This further improves the summer weather traction, especially the wet traction, of the tire, while also enhancing other aspects. The tire's rolling resistance is lowered with the higher silica levels, which, in turn, decrease the fuel usage and CO2 emissions of the vehicle. The tire is more environmentally friendly, while also allowing a lower energy usage to achieve the same mileage.

The tread compound equally distributes the driving pressure across the tread area. As a result the tire wears out evenly, because irregular wear is prevented by the tire. The tire is usable for a long period of time, making it more cost efficient.

The tire is swift and precise in its response to the driver's commands, making it effortless to handle. The better controllability ensures that the tire performs the way the driver wants it to, even at high speeds, without issue.

The special sidewall design protects the rims from any accidental curb damage, further enhancing the tire's safety levels.
