The symmetric tread design with the staggered tread blocks and wide tread grooves and the silica-enhanced tire compound improve the model's dry, wet and winter weather traction, which earned the tire its M+S rating. The wide tread grooves actively resist hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the footprint and cleaning snow out from between the tread elements. The superb all weather traction and hydroplaning prevention ensure a safer year round driving experience.

The tire is capable of finding firm road grip on all soft, loose and uneven road surfaces. The interlocking tread elements manage to adjust to the road surface changes to guarantee first-rate road gripping ability on all terrain surfaces. The sidebiters increase the traction while driving in sand or dirt. The tread's self-cleaning nature eliminates mud and ejects rocks from between the tread elements. This keeps the tire's road contact at all times and prevents stone retention that can harm the tread.

The five-rib tread pattern evenly distributes the driving pressure across the tread area, allowing the tire to keep its contact with the road surface at all times. This boosts the steering responsiveness and driving stability. The steering response to the driver's instructions becomes quick and precise, while the tire's structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting it. The model's internal structure promotes an improved performance. The reinforced twin steel belts and the stronger polyester casing prevent deformation under the driving pressure, which allows the tire to perform to its highest capability.

The five-rib symmetric tread design equally distributes the forces of acceleration, cornering and braking across the tread area. The reinforced internal structure avoid deformation under the driving pressure and keeps the tire's optimal shape. The combination of these aspects avoids the formation of uneven wear across the tread area. The increased even wear extends the tire's usability and tread life significantly.
