The symmetric tread pattern and the all season tire compound work together to ensure the tire's grip on the road surface in dry, wet and winter weather. The tread elements, with the optimal siping and notch detail, increase the tire's grip on the road surface to provide a safer drive. The compound, on the other hand, maintains the rubber flexibility in various conditions, including in colder temperatures, and actively prevents heat build-up during the drive. The tread's circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning. They disperse water and slush from below the tire's footprint and increase the wet and winter weather traction and performing capability.
