Its tread blocks form a directional pattern that, combined with the winter compound, offers outstanding grip on ice- and snow-covered roads. The whole tread is densely populated with lateral sipes that improve traction by generating an abundance of biting edges. The rubber blend adapts to the freezing cold temperature by maintaining its flexibility. The model also features circumferential and lateral grooves that eliminate water, slush, and snow from the footprint. They prevent hydroplaning and keep the traction consistent throughout the drive.
