The tread design and the all season tire compound increase the tire's road gripping capability throughout the year. The asymmetric tread pattern with the optimal siping and notch detail maintains the tire's grip on the road surface in dry, wet and winter weather, while the compound keeps the tire's rubber flexibility in all weather. The tire's circumferential grooves and open shoulder detail improve the hydroplaning resistance. They disperse water and slush from below the tire's footprint, boosting the wet and winter weather performance significantly.
