This is achieved with the durable compound and detailed ribbed tread design, which work together to boost dry, wet, and winter grip. Year-round performance is guaranteed as the all season compound ensures that the tire is pliable in versatile temperatures. The sipe and notch placement provide the needed biting edges to boost the tire's surface traction. Circumferential grooves disperse water and slush from the footprint, avoiding hydroplaning in the process.
