Exceptional dry and wet weather traction are ensured with the asymmetric tread design and summer compound. In this manner, the tire is able to increase its grip on the road surface, enabling the tire's consistent forward motion. On the other hand, the stronger compound's silica elements allow the tire to prevent heat build-up across the tread area. Circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water from the footprint, further boosting its wet weather performance.
