The asymmetric tread design has a dry and a wet weather zone which are upgraded by the innovative blade pattern that promotes road grip on ice and snow-covered roads. The outboard shoulder design provides great dry weather traction, while the inner tread design, with the intermediate rib and shoulder design featuring independent tread blocks, boosts the wet weather traction and the hydroplaning resistance.

The outer shoulder features independent shoulder blocks and intermediate and center ribs that maintain constant road contact. This upgrades the steering responsiveness and driving stability as the tire does not break its contact from the road. The result is a quick and precise steering responsiveness to the driver's commands and exceptional stability against the driving pressures affecting the tire. The combination of the two ensures excellent handling and controllability, even for high speed driving, all year.

The tread pattern ensures an evenly distributed driving pressure. The reinforced internal structure further boosts the tread life as it strengthens the tire shape, which prevents the tread elements from shifting about. The tread's better stability spreads the forces of acceleration, braking and cornering out across the tread, which prevents irregular wear patterns from forming. The better distribution of the driving pressure extends the tread life and the tire's usability greatly.

These work together to reinforce the tire's structure. As a result, the tire's shape does not deform under the driving pressure and the model maintains its optimal shape. The strengthened structure improves the tire's high speed performing capability as it is resistant against the driving pressure affecting it. The better durability ensures enhanced performing capabilities all year.

The constant tire shape allows it to closely follow the road surface. This lowers the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin, as the better following ability ensures a safer drive. The tread design's contoured edges decrease the road noise heard while the tires are in motion, making the drive more enjoyable.
