The winter compound and the ideal directional tread design upgrade the winter, ice and snow surface grip. The high-density zigzag sipes and the staggered block pattern improve the grip on the ice- and snow-covered surface contact with the extra biting edges. The durable compound elements optimize the rubber flexibility in freezing temperatures. The zigzag circumferential and lateral grooves disperse water and slush from the footprint, avoiding hydroplaning in the process. This model is pinned for studs, which can be added to the tread area to increase the winter grip.
