The ribbed tread pattern and the winter compound improve the tire's performance on ice- and snow-covered roads. In this manner, the ideal tread pattern closely follows the road in harsh winter conditions. At the same time, the tread area is studded, which helps the tire have better contact with the road. The winter compound keeps the rubber flexible in freezing temperatures. Hydroplaning resistance is provided as well. The optimized grooves effectively eliminate water and slush from the footprint and ensure a safe driving experience.
