The 3-ribbed tread design and the shoulder edges help to improve the tire's grip on the road surface in dry, wet, and winter conditions. The all season compound allows the tire to keep the rubber flexible in different temperatures, boosting summer and winter weather performance. The wide zigzag grooves disperse water and slush from the footprint, avoiding hydroplaning in the process. Thanks to this design and the all season compound this tire guarantees a safer year-round performing ability.
