The special tire compound and the directional tread design work together to ensure a first-rate dry and wet weather road gripping ability. The compound is capable of taking the heat of summer weather, however, it does not keep its flexibility in colder temperatures, which makes it unsuitable for winter weather. The tread design also features wide circumferential and angled lateral grooves that prevent hydroplaning by eliminating water from below the tire's footprint. In this manner, the model guarantees a secure summer weather driving experience.
