There are tiny sipes and notches on the shoulder and center ribs that provide enough biting edges for a strong and consistent grip. The other important factor for all weather traction is rubber flexibility. The versatile compound enables the tire to perform at its best in the summer, and throughout the winter as well.

By ensuring consistent traction and stability, the detailed tread pattern lowers driving pressure. Less pressure results in less rolling resistance, which saves a lot of fuel in the long run. Since the tire needs less towing to maintain its speed on the highway, CO2 emissions and fuel consumption are both lowered.

The tread has a symmetric design to improve surface contact, resulting in quicker and more accurate steering responses. The driving pressure is negated by the tire's structure that is secured against the highway surface. The WR-078 ensures consistent controllability by relying on its strong construction to maintain its optimal shape.
