The aggressive sipe pattern along the ribbed footprint and the all weather compound work together to achieve this. They enable its dry, wet, and harsh winter weather performance. The footprint creates biting edges, optimizing its dry weather and ice- and snow-covered road traction. Stronger rubber materials keep their flexibility throughout the year. Additionally, the circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning in wet conditions. This model features the 3PMS symbol, signifying the tire's severe winter applications.
