The tread's directional lug pattern and high void ratio maintain a clean footprint. They prevent mud and snow from packing between the tread elements and blocking the tire from its contact with the road surface, while also ejecting rocks to actively resist stone retention from drilling rocks into the casing and harming it. The stronger heavy ply construction and the optimal shoulder tread design, on the other hand, help avoid punctures and impact damage. The reinforced the construction also keeps the tire's optimal shape under the driving and load pressure affecting the model. This combination ensures a safer damage free performance.
