The directional tread pattern increases the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability by ensuring constant road contact. The special tire compound also improves the year round traction by maintaining its flexibility even in colder temperatures. The circumferential and swooping grooves manage to prevent hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The better traction and the excellent hydroplaning resistance work together to guarantee a secure driving experience in all seasons.

The tire's constant road contact boosts the steering response time and accuracy, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting it during the drive. The upgraded controllability ensures a safer performance in all conditions. The shoulder tread blocks enhance the number of biting edges that firmly grip the road surface during cornering and maneuvering which increases the road grip in such situations, allowing the driver to confidently control the vehicle.

The directional tread design closely follows the road surface at all times. This manages to absorb the shock of driving, effectively lowering the road noise levels felt in the vehicle's cabin. The decreased road vibration levels guarantee a comfortable and enjoyable drive.
