The durable all season tire compound and the symmetric tread design work together to increase the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The compound keeps its rubber flexibility in all weather, from the summer heat to the colder winter temperatures. The tread design firmly grips the road surface throughout the year. The tread's wide circumferential and lateral grooves avoid hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The better hydroplaning resistance and all weather traction improve the year round driving safety.
