The symmetric tread design and the all season tire compound ensure first-rate dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The tread's constant road contact boosts the road grip, while the compound keeps its flexibility even in colder temperatures. The tread's wide circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The enhanced hydroplaning resistance and superb all weather traction provide a secure year round performance.
