The asymmetric tread pattern maintains close contact with the driving surface in harsh winter conditions, while the special silica compound keeps the rubber flexible in freezing temperatures. These elements significantly upgrade the tire's performance on ice- and snow-covered surfaces. At the same time, the optimized grooves effectively eliminate water and slush from the footprint. These grooves prevent hydroplaning and ensure the tire's safe performance in winter conditions.

These elements maintain continuous driving surface contact. They upgrade the tire's steering responsiveness and driving stability. The model also offers great cornering capability. On the other hand, the special siping details and the optimized tread elements shorten the braking distance, by creating friction while stopping. This combination guarantees the driver's full control over the vehicle.

The strengthened structure maintains the ideal tire shape under the pressure in case of air pressure loss. Once air pressure leaves the tire, due to punctures or other damage, the reinforced structure enables the tire to be driven on for 50 miles up to 50 mph. This limited, temporary performance prevents the vehicle from being stranded on the side of the road. These tires are designed for vehicles without space for a spare tire. Also, run flat tires cannot be mounted together with regular tires on the same vehicle.

The ideal tread design manages to lower road and tread noise heard in the vehicle's cabin. The special silica compound absorbs the shock of the ride, which lowers the vibrations felt by the passengers while the tires are in motion. This combination guarantees a quiet and comfortable driving experience.
