The tire will perform well on dry, wet and in winter condition. While this tire does not substitute an actual winter tire, it will hold its own well in slight winter conditions and light snow. This excellent traction is the result of the tire's special tread design. The wide circumferential tread grooves also enhance its resistance to hydroplaning. They channel water from below its footprint and improve the safety of the tire in dangerous, deep water road conditions.

The tread pattern lowers the road noise heard in the cabin of the vehicle, making the tire less noisy during on-road driving and making the driving experience more comfortable and quiet.
