The durable winter compound and the details of the tread design help to upgrade its winter weather, ice, and snow traction. These elements improve surface traction, optimizing the biting edges gripping the road surface with extra biting edges. Durable rubber materials keep the rubber flexible, ensuring its overall winter weather traction. The tread area is pinned for studs, which can greatly upgrade the tire's overall winter grip. Excellent hydroplaning resistance is offered as well, as circumferential grooves channel water and slush from the footprint.
