The tread pattern and compound offer good road grip in all weather. The tire is marked as M+S, for its excellent performance as a mud and snow tire. The circumferential tread grooves in the tread pattern disperse the water from beneath the footprint, effectively resisting hydroplaning. This way the tire is safe to use all year.

The cornering and braking ability and power of the tire are boosted by the tread pattern and the tire compound used in the manufacture of the model. The shoulder tread blocks provide additional biting edges to grip the road better during cornering situations. The boost this gives the tire's cornering ability and power results in a safer driving experience. The braking distance of the model was shortened as well. The flatter footprint of the tire and its first-rate traction make the tire's braking safer by shortening the distance.

The enhanced stability and balance of the tire provides a safer and more comfortable ride. The tire does not wobble which reduces the vibrations felt in the cabin of the vehicle. On top of this, the tire also offers a quiet driving experience as the non-directional tread and the reinforced jointless cap ply structure lower the road noise.
