The tread's ribbed pattern, with the optimally placed tread elements upgrades the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping capability. These elements increase the biting edges that grip onto the road surface throughout the year, including during the tire's performance on ice- and snow-covered surfaces. The tread's four wide circumferential grooves help prevent hydroplaning. They disperse water and slush from below the tire's footprint, greatly boosting the wet and winter weather performance.
