The directional tread design and durable winter compound improve the winter grip on the road surface. The tread's snow claws and high-density siping detail heighten the number of biting edges gripping the road surface while the tires are in motion. This ensures the tire's constant grip on ice- and snow-covered road surfaces. On the other hand, the compound keeps the rubber flexibility in colder temperatures with the durable rubber materials. The tread's angled lateral grooves disperse water and slush from below the footprint, maintaining the surface contact at all times. This boosts the wet and winter weather grip on the road surface, increasing the winter weather performance.
