The asymmetric tread design enhances the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The tread's outer area is specialized for dry performance, while the inner area enhances the wet weather traction. The optimal siping detail boosts the tire's light winter weather road gripping capability. The angled lateral and the circumferential grooves work together to prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The better traction and hydroplaning resistance improve the year round driving safety.

The solid ribs constant road contact upgrades the steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, the steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver's instructions, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the tire. In this manner, the tire's controllability is easier and the driver can confidently drive the vehicle to its best high speed capability.

The tire sports an optimal curved shoulder design that reduces the road vibrations levels felt in the vehicle's cabin. The curved shoulders enable the tire to closely follow the road surface, absorbing the shock of driving. As a result, the road vibrations are not felt while the tires are in motion.
