The tread design and all season tire compound improve the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The tread's siping detail increases the number of biting edges gripping the road surface all year round. They, along with the tread's circumferential grooves, effectively avoid hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The all season compound maintains its flexibility throughout the year, even in colder winter weather. The better all weather traction and hydroplaning resistance ensure a safer driving experience.
