The tread design's independent tread blocks, with the optimized siping detail, maintain a firm grip on the road and terrain surface in dry, wet and winter weather. The compound actively resists weather damage from harming the tire's casing, as well as keeping the rubber flexibility throughout the year, from the heat of summer to colder winter weather. The wide grooves manage to disperse water and slush from below the tire's footprint. As a result, the tire's wet and winter weather traction is increased as the tire effectively resist hydroplaning.
