The tread design secures the structure under driving pressure, which maintains consistent road contact. Great road contact upgrades the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands. The shoulder blocks and their siping detail help shorten the braking distance. They create friction at the moment of braking between the tread and the road surface, which shortens the stopping distance. These elements also enhance cornering and maneuvering, even on snow- and ice-covered roads. Better control, cornering, and maneuvering guarantee a safe driving experience.
