The asymmetric tread design and the summer tire compound work together to improve the dry and wet weather road gripping ability. The larger road contact area increases the model's performance by closely following the road surface. However, the tread design, with the low siping detail, and the compound are not suited for winter weather as they cannot provide the needed ice and snow traction. The tread's wide circumferential grooves actively disperse water and slush from below the tire's footprint and prevent hydroplaning, to further improve the wet weather performance. The better traction and hydroplaning resistance ensure a secure summer weather performance.
