The asymmetric tread design, with its wide grooves and siping detail, and the winter compound boost the ice- and snow-covered road grip. In this manner, the asymmetric tread design firmly grips the road surface with extra biting edges and keeps the forward motion, even in freezing conditions. On the other hand, the winter compound maintains rubber flexibility in cold temperatures. The model also prevents hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from the footprint.

The asymmetric tread design improves steering responsiveness and driving stability, by keeping road contact at all times. In other words, the steering response time is faster and more precise to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. The maneuvering capability is also increased with the large shoulder blocks, while the siping detail shortens the braking distance. These elements guarantee the driver full control over the vehicle during the cold winter performance.

The tread design is able to reduce road noise while the tires are in motion. The footprint channels airwaves through the footprint, preventing them from coming into contact with tread elements and generating noise. On the other hand, the close road contact and ideal compound absorb the shock of driving, which minimizes vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin. These elements guarantee the passengers' enjoyable driving experience.
