The ideal tread design and the special silica compound enable the tire's easy traction in dry, wet, and winter conditions. In this manner, the tread pattern maintains surface contact at all times, while the silica compound keeps the rubber flexible even in freezing temperatures. This combination allows the tire to safely perform even on snow- and ice-covered roads. On the other hand, the groove pattern eliminates water and slush from the footprint, resisting hydroplaning.
