It is M+S rated, for mud and snow, and it performs well in severe winter conditions, both in snow and on ice. The tire's three wide tread grooves and the lateral tread grooves also help disperse water from between the tread, effectively resisting hydroplaning. The tire's dry traction is also very strong as it grips the road well in all weather conditions, including when braking and cornering.

The model's O-Bead structure, a single continuous strand of cable in the tire's bead, improves uniformity. The road vibrations are lessened, as the tire follows the road surface due to its stable uniformity. With the combination of these features, the tire offers a quiet and comfortable driving experience.

This makes the tire's handling and controllability effortless. This driving stability also enhances the tire's cornering and maneuvering ability and power, as well as shortening its braking distance, making the tire safer overall for highway use. Its performance is increased to its maximum capability, thanks to the CO-CS (Computer Optimized Component System), which optimizes the combination of casing shape, construction, materials, and tread design.

This allows the tire's tread to wear out evenly, elongating its life.
