The symmetric tread design and the all season compound work together to increase the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The special compound keeps its flexible traction even in colder winter temperatures, while the model's constant road contact upgrades the year round road grip. The tread's wide circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from below the tire's footprint. In this manner, the tread and compound ensure a secure driving experience.
