The advanced all season tire compound, the optimized carcass tension and the five-rib tread design boost the dry, wet and winter weather traction. These elements work together to ensure a safer year round driving experience by upgrading the model's road gripping ability significantly. The four wide circumferential and the numerous lateral and zigzag grooves actively resist hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from beneath the tire's footprint. The better hydroplaning avoidance promotes a more secure drive when driving in deeper water.
