The optimal tread pattern maintains road contact in all conditions, while the compound keeps the rubber flexible in changing temperatures. This combination boosts performance in dry, wet, and winter conditions. On the other hand, wide circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning. These grooves eliminate water and slush from the footprint, in order to protect the tire against slipping in wet situations.

The optimal tread's consistent road contact maintains consistent road contact during the performance. As a result, this increases steering responsiveness and driving stability. The steering response time becomes faster and more precise to the driver's instructions, while the structure is also stabilized against driving pressure. The wide shoulder blocks optimize the cornering ability. At the same time, the siping detail shortens the braking distance, by creating friction at the moment of stopping.

The ribbed tread design evenly distributes the forces of acceleration, cornering, and braking across the tread area. The wear-resistant rubber compound significantly decreases the treadwear rate. This reduces the chances of irregular and premature wear formations, which lengthens the tire's service life and usability.

The ideal tread design and its close road contact reduce road and tread noise levels heard in the vehicle's cabin. This tread channels airwaves through the footprint, preventing them from coming into contact with tread elements. As a result, it does not generate noise. It allows the passengers to enjoy quiet and comfortable driving experiences.
