The asymmetric ribbed tread design and the compound improve dry, wet, and winter weather performance. The durable compound effectively prevents heat build-up along the tread area, while keeping the tire pliable in colder temperatures too. On the other hand, the asymmetric pattern with the better road-to-rubber ratio and the siping placement enhance the grip on the road surface. The tread's circumferential and lateral grooves actively combat hydroplaning, as they disperse water and slush from the footprint.
