The multiple crossed pattern and the winter compound allow the tire to enhance the ice- and snow-covered road grip. These tread elements enable the tire to optimize traction on the road surface with extra biting edges. The strong winter compound and the multiple crossed pattern minimize the snow held in the footprint, which improves the road surface contact. The zigzag grooves disperse water, snow, and ice from the footprint, which enables the tire to upgrade the hydroplaning resistance.
