The durable winter compound, with the temperature-resistant rubber materials, and the detailed directional tread design, with the high-density siping placement, boost the winter weather, ice and snow grip. The compound keeps its optimal rubber flexibility even in freezing temperatures, while the high-density siping placement firmly grips the road surface with additional biting edges. This combination ensures the tire's winter weather traction, even without the use of studs. Furthermore, the circumferential and angled lateral grooves disperse and eliminate water and slush from the footprint. This optimizes the wet weather surface contact as it effectively avoids hydroplaning.

The directional pattern's ribbed tread block placement and the stabilized, independent tread block pattern ensure a close and constant surface contact throughout the drive. In this manner, the tire is able to greatly improve the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The tire promotes a quick and precise steering response to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the tire. This allows the driver's confident handling of the vehicle even in harsh winter conditions.

The high-density siping placement along the tread area and the independent shoulder block placement enhance the braking and cornering abilities. The siping density and the stabilized block pattern allow the tire to generate friction at the moment of braking, which significantly shortens the overall braking distance. On the other hand, the stable shoulder block pattern with the siping pattern creates extra biting edges during cornering in order to enhance the cornering power. This combination boosts the tire's easier and safer controllability.
