However, it is not suited for winter weather, driving in snow or on ice, and should be stored for the season. This tire has superb road grip at any speed, while the specially designed tread pattern, with its four wide tread grooves, helps avoid hydroplaning by dispersing water from beneath the tread.

Its silica-enhanced compound also makes it easier to handle and control. The steering precision was also improved in this model, as the tread pattern keeps constant contact with the road surface. The driver receives great road feedback through the tire and is able to respond correctly and quickly to the changing conditions. The tire's shoulder tread design, with its tread blocks, improves its cornering ability and offers extra grip even at high speeds.

Its optimized tread design maximizes the tire's contact surface and this reduces the road noise, even at high speeds.
