The ribbed tread design works with the stronger compound blend to improve dry, wet, and winter grip. Special tread elements, like the rib-edge sipes, generate biting edges while the tires are in motion, optimizing surface traction. On the other hand, the compound keeps the tire pliable in different temperatures, boosting its summer and winter applications. Wide circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning as they eliminate water and slush from below the footprint.
