The detailed directional tread design and the winter weather traction upgrade the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The tread pattern with the high siping density and the winter weather compound increase the grip the tire has on the ice and snow-covered road surface, while the special silica-compound maintains its flexibility even in colder temperatures. The circumferential and V-shaped lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The tire is pinned for studs, which can be added to the tread to further improve the ice and snow grip. The better winter weather traction ensures a safer performing capability.

The tread's enhanced road contact improves the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The better contact with the road surface improves the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while it stabilizes the structure against the driving pressure affecting the model. The tire's optimal shoulder tread block detail improves the cornering ability by heightening the number of biting edges gripping the road surface. The model's high siping density creates friction between the tire and the road surface. This friction allows the tire to shorten the braking distance significantly, guaranteeing a secure winter weather driving experience.
