The all season compound and the detailed, ribbed footprint improve the year-round performing ability. Stronger compound elements upgrade the rubber flexibility throughout the year, enhancing the summer and winter weather application. The sipe and lateral groove pattern create biting edges which grip the road surface. Four circumferential grooves channel water and slush from the footprint. This avoids hydroplaning in wet conditions, offering a safer performance.

The model features an extra compound layer and a ribbed tread design which work together to optimize the tread wear. They combat premature and irregular wear, enhancing the service life. Additionally, the special Wear Square Indicators place small squares onto the tread center. They show the approximate tread life left on the tire, allowing the driver to follow the treadwear rate of the tire.

In this manner, the footprint helps to upgrade the steering responsiveness and driving stability. The road contact enhances the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure. The shoulder blocks and sipe pattern significantly enhance maneuvering. They boost the cornering and braking power, guaranteeing a safe driving experience.

The tread design helps to decrease road noise levels. The shoulder sipes and close shoulder ribs prevent sound wave formations. They make sure airwaves do not come into contact with the tread elements. In this manner, sound waves are not created, they cannot ruin the comfort levels in the vehicle's cabin.
