The tread design and the all season tire compound enhance the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. In this manner, the compound maintains the optimized flexibility even in colder temperatures, while the ribbed tread pattern finds good grip on the road surface. The wide zigzag circumferential grooves actively resist hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The improved hydroplaning resistance and excellent all weather traction ensure a secure year round performance.
