The all season compound and the asymmetric tread pattern increase the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The compound keeps the rubber flexible in various temperatures, while the CoolCourse system prevents heat build-up along the tread area. The tread's 3D UltraWave siping placement improves the surface grip with extra biting edges while the tires are in motion. The tire's special EvacuWave groove pattern helps resist hydroplaning. These grooves work together with the circumferential grooves in order to channel water and slush from the footprint, significantly enhancing the wet weather driving safety levels.

The asymmetric tread design's surface contact and the 3D siping placement's stronger grip on the road increase the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In this manner, the steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driver's commands. The 3D sipes enhance the cornering capability as they provide additional biting edges to grip the road surface during maneuvering. The high-density siping placement also upgrades the braking ability. The sipes generate friction between the tire and the road surface at the moment of braking to decrease the stopping distance. The asymmetric ribbed pattern and the CoolCourse temperature control system work together to ensure the tire's secure high speed performance. They prevent heat build-up along the tread area and ease the pressure off the tire, significantly improving the high speed durability and performing power.

The CoolCourse technology prevents heat build-up from placing excess pressure on the tire during its performance. This enables the tire to decrease the overall treadwear rate. The ribbed pattern's ideal surface contact manages to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking resist irregular wear. This combination enhances the tread life and the model's usability significantly.
