Thanks to the Dynamic Range Technology (DRT) with the silica-based tread compound that is exclusive to Falken, the tire grips the road remarkably well in all weather conditions, including in winter. The winter traction of the tire is further enhanced with the 3D canyon sipes in the tread pattern. This design provides extra biting edges during braking in snow or on ice, improving the safety of the drive. The tread design's wide angled tread slots allow for snow to be packed into the middle of the tread pattern boosting the snow traction. The circumferential grooves on the tire pattern channel water from the footprint and increase the tire's hydroplaning resistance.
