The tread design and all season compound work together to improve the dry, wet and winter weather traction. The tread design's ribbed pattern and optimal siping detail increase the grip on the road surface, by providing additional biting edges. The compound, on the other hand, keeps the rubber flexibility throughout its performance, in various temperatures. The tread's circumferential and lateral shoulder grooves work together to prevent hydroplaning. They disperse water and slush from below the footprint and increase the wet and winter grip to ensure a safer drive.
