The directional tread design, with the zigzag sipe pattern, firmly grips the road surface, while the compound keeps excellent rubber flexibility. The tread elements provide additional biting edges, which are generated by the sipe placement. Stronger compound elements keep the tire pliable in freezing temperatures. Zigzag circumferential and angled lateral grooves avoid hydroplaning in wet conditions, by dispersing water and slush from below the tire. The tread area is studded, which further boost the tire's winter weather, ice and snow grip.

The two continuous center rib allows the tire to improve its steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, the tire promotes excellent steering response time and accuracy. It also secures structural stability against the driving pressure. The shoulder block pattern with the sipe detail enhances cornering ability. They provide additional biting edges, increasing its maneuvering. This combination enables the tire's exceptional handling and maneuvering.

The directional pattern's close road contact absorbs the shock of driving, minimizing the road vibrations felt by the passengers. This combination prevents vibrations from reaching the vehicle's cabin, offering a comfortable performance.
