The ideal tread design and the winter compound work together to increase the tire's ice and snow grip. The tread design, with the shoulder blocks and siping detail, improves the grip on the road surface in winter conditions. The siping detail provides additional biting edges that firmly grip the road surface. The winter compound is able to keep the rubber flexible in cold winter temperatures and ensures a safe performance. The wide grooves and the siping detail prevent hydroplaning. They disperse water and slush from the footprint and boost cold traction, even in wet situations.

The tread design and the durable compound secure the structure under driving pressure, which maintains constant road contact. The great road contact and the ideal tire shape upgrade the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands. The shoulder blocks and the siping detail help shorten the braking distance. They create friction at the moment of braking between the tread and the road surface, which shortens the braking distance. The wide blocks also improve cornering and maneuvering, even on snow- and ice-covered road surfaces. The better control, cornering, and braking guarantee a secure driving experience.

The tread design closely follows the road surface and evenly distributes the forces of acceleration, cornering, and braking along the tread area. On the other hand, the durable compound slows the tread wear rate down during the performance. These elements together prevent irregular and premature wear formations. As the tire ensures it's slow and even wear, the footprint is able to perform safely for longer periods of time.

The variable pitch sequence allows the tire to prevent sound waves from reaching the vehicle's cabin and ruining the passengers' driving enjoyment. The tread design's optimized pitch width allows the tire to generate a sound-canceling frequency. As a result, the tire promotes a quiet and comfortable driving experience.
