The winter weather compound, directional tread design and high-density 3D siping detail work together to ensure a safe winter weather driving experience. The circumferential grooves disperse water and slush and enhance the hydroplaning resistance. The model is marked with the three mountain peak and snowflake symbol that guarantees its performance in the harshest winter conditions. The tire is further upgraded with #12 studs meant for passenger tires. They increase the tire's road gripping ability and biting edges on ice- and snow-covered road surfaces, improving the driving safety.
