This model is certified for winter weather applications thanks to its exceptional year-round performance. Versatile tread blocks, with their siping placement, and the all weather compound increase dry, wet, and winter weather grip. The tread elements firmly grip the road surface with extra biting edges, even during severe winter conditions. Durable compound elements keep the tire pliable at various temperatures. During the on-road drive, the groove placement disperses water and slush from the footprint, effectively avoiding hydroplaning.
