The directional tread design offers better road contact throughout the performance. This significantly improves the tire's steering responsiveness and driving stability. Quick and precise steering responses are guaranteed and the structure is stabilized against driving pressure as well. This manages to enhance the driver's control over the vehicle at all times.

The detailed directional tread design, with the optimized 3D GripKontrol sipe pattern and stable block placement, works with the durable compound to increase its dry, wet, and winter grip. These keep the tire pliable in freezing temperatures and ensure its surface traction. The special sipe pattern's biting edges are able to greatly increase its winter weather, ice, and snow traction without the use of studs. The V-shaped, wider grooves and the special water pipe sipe prevent hydroplaning as they channel water and slush from the footprint.

The shoulder block placement and the detailed footprint manage to increase its cornering and braking power. These blocks offer extra biting edges during cornering, which ensures better driving safety. On the other hand, the footprint's surface contact creates friction when braking, shortening the tire's stopping distance. Their combination allows the tire to offer a secure driving experience.
