The asymmetric tread design and the winter weather compound increase the cold temperature, ice and snow traction. The tread's high siping density increases the number of biting edges that firmly grip the road surface when driving on ice- and snow-covered road surfaces. The winter compound is capable of withstanding extremely cold temperatures, without losing its rubber flexibility. The tread's circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning. They disperse water and slush from below the tire's footprint and maintain the tire's contact with the road surface for enhanced driving safety.

The high-density siping detail's additional biting edges improve the braking capability. They create friction at the moment of braking between the tire and the road surface, which enhances the braking power and shortens the braking distance. The tread's constant road contact upgrades the steering responsiveness and driving stability. The tire becomes quicker and more precise in its response to the driver's steering instructions, while the structure is secured and stabilized against the pressure affecting it. The outer shoulder tread area boosts the cornering ability and power as it increases the tire's grip in such situations. The ensured control over the tire enables the driver to confidently maneuver the vehicle.

The tread's three continuous center ribs maintain the surface contact at all times. This enables the tire to effectively absorb the shock of driving while the tires are in motion, minimizing the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin. As road disturbances do not damage the driving enjoyment of the passengers, the tire is able to offer a comfortable driving experience.
