They drain water and slush from beneath the footprint and minimize the possibility of hydroplaning. The ribs put a higher rubber amount on the road surface, securing dry grip. The performance in snowy conditions is ensured with the many biting edges provided by the grooves. The compound maintains superb traction across the year, by keeping the rubber flexible in various temperatures. In addition, the specific tread design also offers slight off-road performance. The tire can perform on hard and uneven surfaces, making it a good choice for off-road applications as well.
