The advanced tire compound and the unidirectional tread design with the high-density lateral sipes enhance the colder temperature road gripping ability. However, the tire loses its traction in warmer temperatures and its use is not recommended in summer weather. The tread design's wide circumferential and swooping grooves actively disperse water and slush from below the tire's footprint to effectively prevent hydroplaning. The safer driving experience is due to the combination of the hydroplaning resistance and the exceptional winter traction.

The special unidirectional tread design maintains road contact at all times, which boosts the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The tire is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting it, while its steering responsiveness is quicker and more precise. The tread design's shoulder tread blocks enhance the cornering ability and power by increasing the number of biting edges that grip the road surface in such situations. The unidirectional tread design also manages to shorten the braking distance significantly. Its constant road contact creates friction at the moment of braking, improving a tire's stopping ability in all conditions.

The low-noise tread pattern's pitch sequence negates the road noise generated while the tires are in motion. The tread design creates a sound frequency that cancels out the road noise generated during the drive. The result is a quiet and comfortable driving experience.
