The tread elements with the optimal sipe and notch pattern and the all season compound enhance the dry, wet, and winter weather grip on the road surface. This allows the tire to greatly increase the grip with extra biting edges, boosting the year round performing power. The stronger compound keeps the flexibility of its rubber materials, greatly increasing the summer and winter traction. The circumferential groove pattern helps to prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the footprint, further boosting the wet weather traction.
