The detailed directional tread design and the winter compound enhance the ice and snow, cold temperature performance. The high-density siping placement along the directional tread area upgrades the number of biting edges gripping the road surface. The stronger compound keeps the rubber flexibility in freezing temperatures, optimizing the cold temperatures performance. Furthermore, the tire was manufactured using a special low temperature compound formula that guarantees the tire's performance in severe winter weather conditions. The tread design's angled lateral grooves disperse water and slush from the footprint, optimizing the hydroplaning resistance. The tire is also pinned for studs, which when added further boost the winter traction.

The directional tread design's continuous center block pattern maintains the surface contact, which enhances the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. This promotes a quicker and more precise steering response to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the tire. This greatly upgrades the driver's control over the vehicle. The shoulder block pattern with the detailed siping pattern upgrade the cornering ability. The siping pattern creates additional biting edges which grip the road surface during maneuvering. The directional pattern's high-density siping placement increases the braking power by generating friction at the moment of braking. This combination greatly improves the winter weather performance.
