The all season tire compound and the optimized tread pattern work together to increase the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The compound maintains its flexibility even in colder temperatures, while the tread elements find firm grip in all weather. The special sweeping lateral grooves disperse water and slush from below the tire's footprint and prevent hydroplaning when driving through standing water. In this manner, the tire ensures a safer year round performance. The unique tread elements enable the tire's slight off-road terrain traction as well. The shoulder lugs and the ribbed tread block pattern are capable of keeping their grip on muddy, sand and gravel roads as well. The model's capability of off-road performance improves its versatility.
