The ribbed tread pattern and the all season compound improve year-round performance. In this manner, the ribbed tread pattern firmly grips the road surface, while the all season compound keeps the rubber flexible. Large grooves on the tread area disperse water and slush from the footprint. These grooves prevent hydroplaning in wet conditions. As a result, wide grooves of the tread design and the all season compound offer excellent dry, wet, and winter weather traction.
