The symmetric tread design and the all season tire compound work together to increase the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The symmetric tread design features a high-density siping detail which improves the tire's gripping ability all year. The siping detail heightens the number of biting edges gripping the road surface. The silica-based tire compound maintains the tire's rubber flexibility throughout the year, even in colder winter weather. The tread's circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint. In this manner, the tire guarantees a safer year round performance.

The solid stability rib keeps the tire's road contact at all times and improves the tire's steering responsiveness and driving stability. In this manner, the steering becomes faster and more accurate to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting it. The stabilized shoulder tread elements help increase the cornering ability. They boost the number of biting edges gripping the road surface during cornering and maneuvering to ensure a secure performance. The high siping density of the tread design improves the braking capability. They create friction at the moment of braking between the tire and the road surface to help shorten the braking distance. The better control the driver has over the tires, the safer they can maneuver the vehicle in all weather.

The flat footprint closely follows the road surface at all times. This enables the tire to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking actively avoids irregular tread wear formations across the tire's surface. The longer lasting even tread wear significantly extends the tire's usability.
