Cooper used a durable, all season compound to mold the asymmetric ribbed tread design. The tread's angled lugs, sipes, and grooves, as well as the optimal road-to-rubber ratio enhance the tire's dry, wet, and winter grip. Additionally, four circumferential grooves channel water and slush from the footprint, resisting hydroplaning in the process.

The asymmetric tread's ribbed pattern maintains surface contact thanks to its excellent tread stability, upgrading steering responsiveness and driving stability. The tread's consistent surface contact optimizes steering responses and accuracy, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. The shoulder ribs, with their sipe placement, generate biting edges to further improve the tire's cornering and maneuvering.

This is achieved with the footprint stability and the wear-resistant compound. Ensuring road contact allows the tire to evenly circulate driving pressure, resisting irregular wear. On the other hand, the compound blend keeps the tire wear-resistant, actively preventing accelerated tread wear. This combination significantly lengthens the service life.

The stable footprint's close road contact and the variable pitch shift of the tread work together to achieve this. The footprint manages to absorb the driving shock, which greatly lowers vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin. The variable pattern helps negate sound waves before they reach the passengers. This tread design generates a sound-canceling frequency that weakens road noise. As a result, the tire ensures a quiet and comfortable driving experience.
