The five-rib tread with the wavy lateral siping enhance its grip on the asphalt. The tread elements greatly improve the tire's gripping ability in dry, wet, and winter weather conditions as well. The rubber compound stays flexible as the temperatures change outside. This is how this model is capable to perform at its top all year. The four circumferential grooves channel water, slush, and snow away from the footprint, preventing aquaplaning in the process.
