The tread design and all weather compound increase the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The detailed directional pattern maintains the model's surface contact throughout its performance, by enhancing the number of biting edges gripping the road surface. The durable all weather compound keeps the tire's rubber flexibility in various temperatures, from the heat of summer to colder winter conditions. The angled lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the footprint, which significantly improves the year round driving safety levels.
