The tread design and the special winter weather tire compound grip the road excellently. This road gripping ability is further increased by the studs added to the tire's tread. The better road gripping ability also works excellently on ice-covered roads as the ice compound grips the road well in all situations. The tread design's circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from below the tire footprint. This makes the model safe to use in all cold temperatures dry, wet and snowy weather.

The tread design's center area features 2D blades that cut into the ice and snow and create friction at the moment of braking. This significantly shortens the braking distance, even on snow and ice covered road surfaces. The tread design promotes enhanced cornering ability and power as the tread pattern's shoulder blocks sport a delicate siping detail provided by the 3D Tredlock technology. They provide additional biting edges during cornering and maneuvering, which improves the model's winter weather performance.

They guard the rims from accidental curb damage and offer a safer driving experience.
