The durable Gen-H compound works with the optimal tread elements, allowing the tire to upgrade its dry, wet, and winter-weather traction. These tread elements utilize their stability and ideal sipe placement to generate additional biting edges while the tires are in motion. The stronger rubber materials of the Gen-H compound keep the tire pliable throughout the year, optimizing its summer and winter weather performance. Circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning in wet conditions, by dispersing water and slush from the footprint.
