The symmetric tread design with the optimal shoulder lugs and the detailed siping pattern works together with the all season compound to enhance the dry, wet and winter grip. In other words, the optimized footprint elements firmly grip the road surface throughout the year, with the use of extra biting edges. The stronger compound elements increase the rubber flexibility in versatile temperatures, enhancing the year round performing capability. The groove pattern helps to combat hydroplaning, as they disperse water and slush from the footprint and resulting in a wet weather performance.
