This design improves the tire's grip in all weather conditions, including in dry, wet and winter conditions. The self-cleaning tread pattern eliminates mud and snow stuck between the tread blocks thanks to the open tread design with the shoulder groove ridges. As the tire's tread is always clean, the traction is constantly maintained, providing a better road grip. The wide tread grooves also help resist hydroplaning by channeling water away from the tire's footprint. The tire is safer to use in all weather conditions because of this.
