The all season tire compound and the asymmetric tread design enhance the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The special compound manages to keep its flexibility even in colder temperatures, while the aggressive asymmetric tread design splits the tire up to a dry and wet and a winter weather zone to provide maximized traction at all times. The wide circumferential grooves actively resist hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The combination of these enhancements ensures a safer year round performance.
