The special all season tire compound and the ribbed symmetric tread design enhances the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The tread design's optimal siping detail firmly grips even the ice- and snow-covered road surfaces, while the all season tire compound keeps its flexible traction throughout the year. The tread's zigzag circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the tire's footprint. In this manner, the tire ensures a secure year round performing capability.
