The tread pattern and the all season compound grip the road surface excellently in dry, wet and even winter conditions. The all weather compound does not lose its traction in the colder winter temperatures and it provides safety in all types of seasonal weather. The tread design, with its circumferential grooves, helps resist dangerous hydroplaning situations. These grooves eliminate water and slush from under the tire's footprint. In this manner, the tire upgrades the year round driving security.
