The ribbed tread design and the all season compound improve the tire's dry, wet, and winter-weather performance. In this manner, the ribbed tread design firmly grips the surface with extra biting edges, while the special silica compound maintains flexibility in changing temperatures. These elements enable the tire's secured performance throughout the year. Hydroplaning resistance is provided as well. The wide circumferential grooves effectively eliminate water and slush from the footprint, in order to protect the tire against slipping in wet situations.
