The superb footprint stability of the tread design maintains surface contact at all times. This effectively enhances steering responsiveness and driving stability. Quick and precise steering responses are guaranteed, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. The symmetric pattern also enhances cornering and braking abilities. Cornering is upgraded with the shoulder block placement's extra biting edges. On the other hand, the ideal road contact creates friction when stopping, boosting its braking capability.

The detailed tread pattern, with the special elements, works with the winter compound to increase winter traction. These tread blocks and their details firmly grip the ice- and snow-covered road, as they provide additional biting edges. The durable winter compound helps to optimize the rubber flexibility in freezing temperatures. At the same time, the groove pattern eliminates water and slush from the footprint, in order to prevent hydroplaning.

The optimized footprint and the strong compound work together to increase the service life. The even pressure circulation avoids irregular wear formations along the tread area, while the compound decreases the overall treadwear rate. The tread's slow and even wear manner significantly elongates the tire's service life.
