The detailed tread design, with the sharp tread edges, firmly grips the road by generating the necessary biting edges. The winter compound keeps the rubber pliable even in freezing winter temperatures. The ideal tread design and the winter compound excellently work together to boost the ice- and snow-covered road surface. The V-shaped wide grooves disperse water and slush from the footprint, which improves the hydroplaning resistance. The footprint is also pinned for studs, which can be added for extra ice and snow grip.
