The tire features a ribbed block placement with rib edge sipes added for extra surface grip. These tread elements help to improve the tire's grip on the road surface in dry, wet and winter weather conditions. On the other hand, the stronger compound allows the tire to maintain the rubber flexibility in versatile temperatures, upgrading the summer and winter weather performing ability. The circumferential grooves disperse water and slush from the footprint, avoiding hydroplaning in the process. This model received the three mountain peak and snowflake symbol, indicating its excellent winter weather performing ability.
