The all season tire compound and the asymmetric tread pattern increase the dry, wet and winter weather traction. The all season compound maintains its rubber flexibility throughout the year, even in colder temperatures. The asymmetric tread's optimal tread element placement increases the year round grip thanks to the biting edges of the numerous notches and the siping detail. The special circumferential and high void angled lateral grooves avoid hydroplaning. They disperse water and slush from below the tire's footprint. This combination ensures a safer year round driving experience.

The improved and maintained road contact increases the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In other words, it stabilizes the structure against the driving pressure affecting it, while the steering response to the driver's instructions becomes faster and more precise. The larger outer shoulder tread area heightens the number of biting edges, which grip the road surface during cornering, to improve the maneuvering capability. The optimal asymmetric tread design boosts the tire's road contact and heat build-up prevention, which upgrades the high speed driving durability and experience.

The StabiliTread technology decreases the possibility of irregular tread wear with the optimal flat footprint and maximized road contact it offers. This enhancement enables the tire to maintain a constant road contact, which evenly distributes the driving pressure along the tread area. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking avoid uneven tread wear and extend the tread life and usability.
