The tread pattern and the all season tire compound improve the dry, wet and winter weather road grip. The compound keeps its rubber flexibility throughout the year, even in colder temperatures. The tread's closed shoulder design and the center tread blocks' siping detail improve the consistent grip in all weather to ensure a safer performance. The zigzag circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The better controllability upgrades the year round driving safety.
