The symmetric ribbed tread design, with the sipe placement, and the durable, all season compound enhance the dry, wet, and winter weather grip. Extra biting edges are offered with this model, as they are generated by the optimal sipe and rib-edge sipe placement. Stronger compound elements greatly improve rubber flexibility during the performance, upgrading the summer and winter weather grip. Four circumferential grooves disperse water and slush from the footprint, effectively avoiding hydroplaning in wet conditions.
