The all season compound and the symmetric ribbed tread design, with the rib edge and angled sipe pattern and notch placement, increase the dry, wet, and winter weather traction. The stronger compound elements prevent heat build-up along the tread area, upgrading the summer and winter weather grip. The detailed footprint allows the tire to enhance the surface grip with extra biting edges. The wavy circumferential grooves disperse water and slush from the footprint. This effectively avoids hydroplaning in wet weather conditions.
