The ribbed tread design and the all season compound increase the dry, wet and winter weather traction. The ribbed pattern closely follows the road surface and heightens the number of biting edges gripping the road surface. The compound keeps the rubber flexibility in various temperatures, including in colder winter weather conditions. The tread's circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning. They disperse water and slush from below the footprint, further improving the wet and slushy weather performance. This allows the tire to improve the year round driving safety.
