The tread pattern maintains road contact at all times, while its self-cleaning nature keeps the tire footprint clean of snow and mud. The longer lasting clean footprint increases the road gripping ability in dry, wet and winter weather. The deep center groove and the 3D tapered groove design work together to ensure hydroplaning resistance by actively dispersing water, slush and mud from below the tire footprint. The superb hydroplaning resistance, all weather traction and constantly clean footprint ensure a safer year round driving experience.
