The silica-based durable tire compound and the detailed symmetric tread design combined ensure the tire's grip on dry, wet and winter weather road surfaces. The siping detail heightens the number of biting edges gripping the road and terrain surface. The tire compound keeps its flexibility throughout the year to provide a safer performance. The zigzag groove pattern avoids hydroplaning during the tire's on-road drive. The tire is also pinned for studs and #12 studs can be added to increase the winter weather traction. As a result, the tire received the three mountain peak and snowflake symbol for its severe winter weather traction.

The staggered and stepped tread blocks, the zigzag groove pattern and the open shoulder design work together to improve the soft, loose and uneven terrain gripping capability. The tire increases the grip on the terrain surface, boosting the off-road performing capability. These tread elements also maintain a clean footprint. They clean out mud and snow and eject rocks from between the tread elements. This keeps the footprint clean and prevents mud and snow from blocking the tire from its contact with the road surface. It also actively prevents stone retention from harming the casing by drilling rocks into the tread.

The tread design manages to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area. The balanced circulation of the driving forces enables the tire to actively prevent irregular tread wear formations from shortening the tire's usability and tread life. The stronger tire compound also increases the service life. Its wear-resistant rubber materials significantly slow the tread wear rate down, extending the tread life.

The stepped tread blocks increase the tire's controllability by boosting the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting it in both on- and off-road surface conditions. The siping pattern improves the cornering and maneuvering capability. The tread increases the number of biting edges gripping the road and terrain surface.
