The tread pattern and the all season silica-based tire compound work together to increase the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The compound keeps its flexible traction even in colder temperatures and it actively prevents weather damage from harming the tire's tread area. The special tread design firmly grips the road surface throughout the year, and its wide circumferential grooves effectively disperse water and slush from below the tire's footprint to resist hydroplaning situations. In this manner, the tire ensures a secure year round performance.
