The tread design, with the small sipe and notch details, and the all season compound enhance the dry, wet, and winter weather application. Pressure build-up is avoided, while the compound's rubber elements also maintain their flexibility throughout the year. The biting edges generated by the sipes and notches enhance the surface traction. The tread features three circumferential grooves which disperse water and slush from the footprint, resulting in a secure year round performance.
