These blocks have a rather angular shape and each of them has a sipe on it for better grip. The idea behind all these irregularities is to provide as many biting edges as possible so that the tire can maintain constant traction. The siping with the block edges ensure reliable traction on wet and winter weather surfaces. The result is a safe driving experience where the control is in the driver's hands.

This gives way to the footprint to establish traction with the road surface. The irregular groove walls do an outstanding job ejecting rocks or cleaning out mud or snow. With this design feature, the tire always has a clean footprint that is never blocked from surface contact. The tire's self-cleaning capability keeps stone retention and stone drilling at bay.

The flat footprint promotes equal driving pressure distribution along the tread blocks. This ensures slow and uniform wear due to the tire's stability. The deep tread extends tread life by a significant degree in of itself. The forces of cornering, acceleration and braking are also equally spread out along the BDR28's tread, resulting in longer service life.
