The all season tire compound and the directional tread design enhance the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The tread elements firmly grip the road surface, while the all season compound maintains its optimized flexibility even in colder temperatures. The circumferential and swooping V-shaped grooves work together to prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The combination of the hydroplaning resistance and the all weather traction ensure a safer all weather performance.

The better road contact increases the tire's controllability. In other words, it makes the steering faster and more precise in its responsiveness to the driver's commands, while it also stabilizes the tire's structure against the driving pressure affecting the tire. The shoulder tread blocks increase the tire's biting edges in such conditions during the drive and ensure a secure cornering and maneuvering ability. The directional tread pattern optimizes the tire's shape. It evenly distributes the driving pressure and actively resists deformation in the tire's shape. This enables the model to perform at its greatest high speed capability.

The directional tread design manages to equally spread out the forces of acceleration, cornering and braking across the tread area. The prevention of irregular wear formations across the tread area extends the tread life and the tire's usability.
