The ideal tread design and the special winter compound upgrade the tire's traction on ice- and snow-covered surfaces. The large tread elements firmly grip the surface with extra biting edges, while the silica compound keeps the rubber flexible in cold temperatures. At the same time, the ideal tread design and the durable rubber compound boost the tire's performance on ice and snow. Also, the optimized grooves resist hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the footprint.

The strong structure allows the tire to withstand the weight of the vehicle and its passengers, enabling the tire's performance for 50 miles up to 50 mph. This allows the vehicle to safely arrive at a nearby location, where the tire can be fixed or changed. Run flat tires should not be mounted on the same vehicle as regular tires.

The ideal tread design and the special silica compound reduce the rolling resistance. It presents the pressure that determines how much energy the vehicle needs to keep the tires in motion. This decreased rolling resistance reduces the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, for a fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly driving experience.

The ideal tread design and its close contact with the road boost steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, the tire's steering response time is faster and more accurate to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. The wide shoulder blocks and their strong gripping ability boost the tire's cornering. These elements ensure a safe driving experience, while the driver has full control over the vehicle.

It enables the driver to follow the treadwear rate of the tire. As a result, the driver can see if the tire is close to being worn out or when it is about to lose its winter-weather grip. This prevents worn-out tires from being used on the vehicle, which significantly increases the tire's driving safety levels.
