The symmetric tread design with the detailed siping and the all season tire compound work together to improve the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The result is a safer year round performance as the tire does not lose its firm grip and flexibility in colder temperatures. The tread design's wide circumferential grooves, numerous lateral grooves and open shoulder design actively resist hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The better hydroplaning resistance and all weather traction ensure a secure performance in all weather.
