The asymmetric tread design and the special summer weather compound increase the tire's grip on dry and wet surfaces. The tread pattern's asymmetric rib placement and shoulder blocks increase the tire's grip on the road surface, while the compound prevents weather damage in the warmer temperatures and keeps the tire pliable in the heat. The circumferential grooves channel water and slush from below the tire's footprint. In this manner, they effectively avoid the formation of irregular tread wear across the tread are. This allows the tire to ensure a secure year round performance.
