The tread pattern and the winter weather tire compound work together to ensure superb road gripping ability in all winter weather. The tire received the tire industry's three mountain peak and snowflake symbol for its ability to handle the harshest winter weather, but it cannot be used in summer weather. The special, detailed siping design enhances the tire's road gripping ability on ice and snow-covered roads and it ensures driving safety. The open shoulder tread design improves the water dispersing ability and actively prevents hydroplaning.

The tread design's dual center rib maintains constant road contact, which enhances the steering responsiveness and driving stability. The maintained road contact ensures a quick and precise steering responsiveness to the driver's instructions. The better road contact also promotes excellent road feedback, which allows them to confidently control the tire in all winter conditions. The large shoulder tread blocks boost the cornering ability and power. They provide additional biting edges for winter weather cornering and maneuvering situations, enhancing a driving safety.

The tread pattern evenly distributes the driving pressure across the tread area, which prevents irregular wear patterns from forming across the tread area. This promotes tread longevity and boosts the tire's usability, making it more cost-efficient.
