The ideal tread design and the winter compound increase ice and snow grip, in cold temperatures. This combination firmly grips the road with extra biting edges, enabling its ice- and snow-covered road traction. On the other hand, it also keeps the rubber flexible in freezing conditions. The optimized grooves channel water and slush from the footprint, avoiding hydroplaning in the process.

The symmetric tread elements ensure road contact to improve steering responsiveness and driving stability. The model guarantees great steering response time and accuracy, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the tire. The shoulder blocks with the siping pattern improve cornering and maneuvering as they generate more biting edges.

The ideal tread design and its close contact with the driving surface lower road and tread noise levels heard in the vehicle's cabin. As road disturbances cannot ruin the passenger's driving enjoyment, the tire guarantees a quiet performance.
