These tread elements firmly grip the road while the tires are in motion to enhance the maneuvering power. The tire's steering response time and accuracy to the driver's instructions are enhanced, while structure is secured against the driving pressure. This increases the driver's control over the vehicle and ensures a safer maneuvering ability in various weather conditions.

The ideal tread design is also able to evenly distribute load and driving pressure across the tread to avoid uneven wear formations, greatly improving the tread life. The self-cleaning tread ejects rocks from the footprint before they can dig into the tread area and harm the casing. It allows the tire to safely perform in off-road conditions, while guaranteeing a superb service life.

The ribbed tread design is able to provide a high number of biting edges and boost the traction in dry, wet, and winter weather conditions. The compound, on the other hand, keeps the rubber flexible in both summer and winter weather temperatures. The circumferential grooves eject water and slush from the footprint, maximizing the surface contact and preventing the vehicle from hydroplaning in rainy and snowy weather.
