The large tread elements and all season tire compound work together to boost the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping capability. The tread design's blocks find firm grip in all weather, while the compound keeps its flexible traction throughout the year, including in winter weather. The tread's high void ratio prevents hydroplaning, while the large tread elements eliminate snow stuck between the tread elements to ensure a safer year round performance. Furthermore, the tire is pinned for studs, which can be added, in accordance with the state law, to boost the ice and snow grip and traction.
