The symmetric ribbed footprint further improves its gripping ability in dry, wet, and winter weather conditions. It features a high number of lateral notches and sipes that populate the tread with biting edges. The tire utilizes these to ensure consistent traction all year. It maintains its rubber flexibility despite fluctuating temperatures. The wide circumferential grooves eliminate water, snow, and slush from the footprint, preventing aquaplaning.

The tread elements form a flat, ribbed footprint that improves the tire's driving stability and steering responsiveness. As a result, the driver can navigate the vehicle in a prompt and precise manner. The driver has full control over the trailer through the towing vehicle. On the other hand, the tire has the structural stability required to endure driving pressure affecting it.

It can carry and withstand heavy loads without deforming in the process. By maintaining its optimal shape, it demonstrates an incredible load handling ability. The all season compound is not only adaptive, but it is also tough enough to keep tread elements in great shape during heavy-duty operations. The NM617's ability to resist load and driving pressure, improving its overall performing safety.
