The all season tire compound and the symmetric tread design work together to enhance the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The all season compound maintains the tire's flexibility throughout the year. The tread elements, with the optimal siping detail, firmly grip the road surface in all weather, including on ice- and snow-covered road and terrain surfaces. The tread's wide groove pattern avoids hydroplaning. Its grooves channel water and slush from the tire's footprint and enhance the wet and winter weather traction. The improved traction and hydroplaning resistance guarantees a secure year round performance.
