The optimal winter compound keeps the tire pliable in freezing temperatures, ensuring its rubber flexibility in colder weather. The tire features a ribbed block placement with the Exclusive Snow Grip Technology, the thin-gauge sipes, and the sawtooth-shaped snow-grabber grooves provide biting edges to grip the road. Circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the footprint, further boosting wet traction.
