The maintained surface contact improves the handling as well. The symmetric, directional tread pattern keeps the surface contact while the tires are in motion, upgrading the steering responsiveness and driving stability. As such, the tire enhances the steering response time and accuracy to the driver’s commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the tire. The ideal shoulder block pattern improves the cornering and maneuvering ability. The siping placement upgrades both maneuvering and controllability during the performance.

The winter compound and the ideal tread design work together to boost the cold temperature performance. The studded tread area, with the special siping pattern and the optimal tread block placement, improves the tire’s grip when driving on ice- and snow-covered road surfaces. This is achieved by providing additional biting edges. The compound keeps the tire pliable and maintains its rubber flexibility in freezing temperatures. The optimized grooves increase the water- and slush-dispersing ability and prevent hydroplaning.

Its exceptional compound blend and the tread’s even pressure circulation work together to make this happen. They avoid premature and uneven wear as a result. In other words, they resist premature wear by utilizing biting edges, while the tread avoids irregular wear as well. These elements significantly boost the tire’s service life.
