The all season tire compound and the asymmetric tread design work together to boost the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The compound keeps its flexibility in all weather, including in colder temperatures. The tread elements, with the optimal siping detail, manage to find firm grip on the road surface throughout the year. The tread's wide circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The enhanced hydroplaning resistance and all weather traction ensure a safer year round performance.
