The stronger all weather compound maintains the rubber flexibility in all weather, from the heat of summer to colder winter temperatures. The tread's optimal center rib and shoulder block placement boost the grip on the road surface. They keep the road contact at all times, which enables the tire to increase the number of biting edges gripping the road surface. The tread design's angled lateral and zigzag circumferential grooves increase the hydroplaning resistance, dispersing water and slush from the footprint. As a result, the tire further improves the wet and winter weather traction.
