The sipes on the central blocks also help in securing a firm snow and ice grip. The tire combats and prevents hydroplaning with its circumferential grooves and the open-shoulder design. They channel slush and water from under the footprint, securing traction. The blocks put an increased rubber area on the road, maintaining optimal dry road grip. Furthermore, the compound keeps the rubber flexible and operational in warmer and colder months. As a result, the model delivers a reliable dry, wet, and winter performance.
