The optimal tread pattern and all season compound increase year-round performance. In other words, the ribbed tread pattern maintains road contact in all weather conditions, while the all season compound keeps the rubber flexible in summer and winter temperatures. As a result, this tread design and rubber compound improve traction in dry, wet, and winter conditions. On the other hand, zigzag grooves resist hydroplaning in wet situations. They disperse water and slush from the footprint in wet situations.
