The tread pattern and all season tire compound work together to ensure an enhanced dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The tread elements firmly grip the road surface, while the compound maintains its optimal flexibility even in colder temperatures. The wide circumferential and smaller lateral grooves manage to prevent hydroplaning by channeling water away from the tire's footprint. The enhanced hydroplaning resistance and first-rate all weather traction ensure a safer year round performing capability.
