The directional tread design features a high-density 3D siping pattern and long, angled tread blocks that increase the grip on the ice- and snow-covered road surfaces. These tread elements heighten the number of biting edges gripping the road surface, ensuring a safer performing ability. The winter compound, on the other hand, keeps the tire pliable in colder temperatures by optimizing the rubber flexibility. The tread's angled lateral and zigzag circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the footprint. This combination guarantees a safer winter weather driving experience.
