It increases the number of the sipes located on the tire's shoulder which ensures better road grip. This allows a shortened braking ability in colder temperatures and on ice-covered roads. Thanks to the siping design, the tire creates road grip on all surfaces, which shortens the braking distance and boost the accelerations. The self-interlocking sipes stiffen the tread area, which improves the steering responsiveness and driving stability. The tire is stabilized against the driving forces and its steering becomes quicker and more accurate. The better road contact ensures a more secure driving experience.
