The tread pattern with the high void ratio, the open shoulder design and the staggered tread blocks ensure first-rate dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The deep grooves and the open shoulder tread blocks actively disperse water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The hydroplaning resistance is further enhanced by the tread's self-cleaning nature that clears snow from between the tread elements to maintain constant road contact for a better road gripping ability.
