The symmetric ribbed tread design and the ideal compound blend work together and allow the tire's secure dry, wet, and winter-weather road grip. Stronger rubber flexibility keeps the tire pliable throughout the year, from the heat of summer to colder winter conditions. The tread's sipe pattern firmly grips the road surface with extra biting edges. Hydroplaning is also avoided thanks to the circumferential grooves that disperse water and slush from below the footprint.
