The special symmetric ribbed tread pattern and the all season tire compound work together to boost the dry, wet and winter weather road grip. The compound keeps its flexible traction even in colder temperatures, while the tread elements find firm grip on the road surface in all weather. The tread design features wide circumferential grooves that prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The better hydroplaning resistance and excellent all weather traction work together to increase the year round performance.
