The compound's silica-based rubber materials maintain the tire's flexibility in all conditions, including in colder winter weather. The tread elements upgrade the dry, wet and winter weather grip on the road surface, thanks to the full depth and detailed siping of the tread pattern. The circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The better hydroplaning resistance and all weather traction promote a safer driving experience throughout the year.
