The compound maintains the rubber flexibility throughout the year, including in colder winter weather. The optimized symmetric tread design, with the siping detail, increases the tire's grip on the road surface in dry, wet and winter weather. The model also effectively resists hydroplaning. The circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint. In this manner, the tire boosts its wet and winter weather performance as well.
