The durable year-round compound and the ribbed tread design boost the dry, wet, and winter weather grip. Stronger rubber materials optimize its rubber flexibility in summer and winter weather conditions. The sipe and groove placement generates friction and additional biting edges, optimizing the tire's summer and winter weather performance. Hydroplaning is avoided thanks to the circumferential grooves. They disperse water and slush from the footprint, ensuring its year-round performance.
