The winter compound and the ideal tread design work together to boost the cold temperature performance. The studded tread area, with the special siping pattern and the optimal tread block placement, improves the tire's grip when driving on ice- and snow-covered road surfaces. This is achieved by providing additional biting edges. The compound keeps the tire pliable and maintains its rubber flexibility in freezing temperatures. The optimized grooves increase the water- and slush-dispersing ability and prevent hydroplaning.

This tread design and the durable rubber compound enhance the tire's traction, which optimizes fuel intake levels. This combination minimizes the rolling resistance while the tires are in motion. The rolling resistance is the pressure that determines the vehicle's necessary fuel usage, optimizing fuel efficiency. By reducing the rolling resistance, the tire is able to decrease the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, resulting in optimized fuel economy.

The symmetric, directional tread pattern's solid center rib improves steering responsiveness and driving stability by maintaining constant road contact. The result is a quick and precise steering responsiveness to the driver's instructions and enhances stability against the driving forces. The tire is more responsive to the driver's commands, making it easier to control and handle in all weather.
