This way, the tread elements can keep the traction consistent with the road surface. Instead of being too hard or too soft in certain conditions, the tire's flexibility changes only in a narrow range. By adapting to the changing temperatures, the tire always has the stickiness required to get a firm grip of the road surface. The FD711 boasts a self-cleaning tread that eliminates snow, water, and slush from the footprint, keeping it clean for constant traction.
