The tread design, with the sipping detail, allows the tire to increase the road grip with extra biting edges. Durable compound elements enhance the tire's summer and winter performance by keeping the rubber flexible. The tire is also marked with the 3PMSF symbol, which means that it is able to handle harsh winter weather conditions. Two wide circumferential grooves improve the hydroplaning resistance, as they disperse water and slush from below the footprint. This combination significantly boosts the dry, wet, and winter grip.
