It is able to perform in severe winter conditions thanks to the combination of the detailed directional tread and the durable winter compound. The middle tread blocks' snow-gripping cuts and the high-density zigzag siping pattern enhance the number of biting edges gripping the ice- and snow-covered road surface with extra biting edges. The durable compound keeps the rubber flexibility in colder temperatures, guaranteeing the tire's secure performing capability in various winter situations. Versatile studs are added to the tread area, which further enhance the grip on the road surface when driving on ice and snow. The zigzag circumferential and angled lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the footprint, maintaining the surface contact and boosting the winter weather driving safety.

The tread's directional pattern closely follows the road surface to enhance the steering responsiveness. The tread's constant road contact and ideal grip boost the grip on the road surface and enhance the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands. The high-tensile steel belt structure enhances the driving stability. It secures the tire's structure against the driving pressure affecting the model while the tires are in motion, which maximizes the drive's control over the vehicle at all times. This combination ensures a secure performing capability in all winter weather conditions.

This compound enhances the surface traction and eases the pressure off the tire during its performance. As a result, it significantly lowers the model's rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the driving pressure affecting the tire which determines the vehicle's fuel consumption needed to keep the tires in motion. By lessening the rolling resistance, the tire decreases the vehicle's fuel intake and CO2 emissions, guaranteeing a fuel efficient and environmentally friendly driving experience.

Nokian Tyres' special Aramid Sidewall Technology reinforces the tire's construction. This added strength enables the tire to increase its damage resistance, while also maintaining the ideal tire shape. The technology prevents punctures, cuts and impact damage from shortening the tire's lifetime. It avoids damage to the sidewalls, improving the driving safety levels. This reinforced construction also enhances the load capacity. It enables the tire to carry and withstand heavy loads with ease, allowing the tire to increase the load capacity significantly.
