The tread provides great off-road traction and self-cleaning capability. The optimal block placement and the high void ratio work together in order to improve its on-road, as well as soft, loose, and uneven terrain grip. Their combination enables exceptional forward motion on various terrains, while also eliminating mud, snow, and rocks stuck between the tread elements. As such, mud and snow do not block surface contact, promoting a safer driving experience. Stone retention is also avoided in this manner, protecting the tire's tread and casing.
