The all season compound works together with the ribbed tread design in order to upgrade its dry, wet, and winter weather performance. The angled groove placement enables the tire to firmly grip the road surface, as they effectively generate additional biting edges. Stronger compound elements allow the tire to increase its summer and winter weather grip, as the rubber flexibility is stabilized. Circumferential grooves combat hydroplaning, as they disperse water and slush from the footprint in wet conditions.
