The special computer optimized tread pattern is similar to the design of highway terrain tires, however, it combines their excellent road grip with high levels of comfort. The ribbed tread design increases the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The wide circumferential grooves also manage to prevent hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The combination of the enhanced hydroplaning resistance and improved traction ensures a safer year round driving experience.
