The silica-based tire compound and the asymmetric tread design enhance the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The silica in the compound maintains its flexible traction all year round, including in colder temperature winter weather. The asymmetric tread's elements enhance the road grip throughout the year, while its three wide circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The better hydroplaning resistance and all weather traction ensure a safer driving experience.
