They work together to boost the dry, wet and winter weather surface grip throughout the tire's performance. The all season compound improves the rubber flexibility in various temperatures, while the asymmetric tread's optimized elements enhance the number of biting edges gripping the road surface throughout the tire's performance. The tread's wide groove pattern channels water and slush from below the footprint, keeping the tire's surface contact at all times and actively preventing hydroplaning in the process. This combination ensures the tire's excellent all weather performing capability.
