The symmetric tread pattern and the all season tire compound work together to increase the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The symmetric tread pattern closely follows the road surface and maintains its gripping capability, while the tread compound maintains its flexibility, even in colder temperatures. The wide circumferential grooves manage to prevent hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The enhanced hydroplaning resistance and all weather traction boost the year round driving experience.
