It utilizes its symmetric ribbed footprint to closely follow the road surface at all times. This, plus the sinusoidal sipe pattern's road grip, helps to boost steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, the structure is secured during the drive and the tire promotes quick and accurate steering responses. The sipe placement and the durable all weather compound work together to shorten the stopping distance. They create friction, which significantly enhances the braking power, even during the tire's winter weather application.
