The symmetric tread design and the all season tire compound work together to boost the grip the tire has in dry, wet and winter weather. Especially in wet weather situations the tread's streamline transversal groove design upgrades the rainy weather grip. These grooves also help prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The all season compound keeps the tire's rubber flexibility in various temperatures, including in winter weather. This combination enables the tire to ensure a secure year round performance.
