The tire grips the road well in dry, wet and winter conditions, thanks to the specially placed sipes in the tread pattern. The tire does not lose its good traction in winter weather. The tread grooves in the pattern eliminate water from below the tire's footprint, which enhances its resistance to hydroplaning.

It maximizes the tire's road contact patch, keeping constant contact with the road which, along with the center rib in the tread pattern, enhances the tire's steering precision and responsiveness. The accurate and swift steering allows the driver to handle the tire with ease. The ETEC System also helps the tire maintain its shape and prevent deformity from the driving pressure.

This makes the tire more versatile and capable of performing for the different needs of the driver.

This is made possible by the tire's maximized contact with the road, which helps channel the soundwaves through the tire's footprint. This way, the tire offers a safe and comfortable driving experience.
