The stronger winter compound keeps the model's rubber flexibility in colder temperatures, while the directional tread design, with the detailed siping pattern, boosts the grip on the road surface. As a result, the tire can securely perform even on ice- and snow-covered road surface conditions. The tread's angled lateral grooves disperse water and slush from below the footprint, preventing hydroplaning in the process. This guarantees a safer driving experience in all winter weather.
