The asymmetric tread design and the winter weather compound increase the cold temperature grip on the tire's surface. The asymmetric tread pattern features a detailed 3D siping design that increases the number of biting edges gripping the snow- and ice-covered road surface. The winter weather compound maintains its flexibility in colder temperatures, but it will not be pliable in warmer weather. The circumferential and angled lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning. They eliminate water and slush from below the tire's footprint to increase the winter weather performance.

The asymmetric tread's siping pattern stabilizes the tread elements and strengthens the tread blocks. In this manner, the tire ensures constant road contact throughout the tire's performance. The better road contact upgrades the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the tire. This enables the tire's safer high speed performance. The optimal traction enables the tire to keep its road contact to increase the high speed driving capability. The 3D siping pattern also upgrades the braking ability. The high-density siping detail creates friction at the moment of braking, which significantly shortens the braking distance.

The hourglass-shaped indicators placed on the tire's shoulders visually represent the tread wear levels throughout the tire's lifetime. The way the tread wears out is portrayed on these tread wear indicators. The driver can easily follow and check the amount of tread left on the tire, which ensures that the tires are not driven on when they are worn out. This ensures a safer traction and performance.

The tread design features a variable pitch phase shift which decreases the road and tread pattern noise levels heard while the tires are in motion. They create a sound frequency that negates the road noise levels heard in the vehicle's cabin. As a result, the road and tread pattern noise does not reach the passengers and does not ruin their driving enjoyment, providing a comfortable driving experience.
