The five-rib tread design maintains a constant road contact and firmly grips the road surface in dry, wet and winter weather. The tire's compound also maintains its flexibility in colder temperatures. The wide circumferential grooves actively resist hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The enhanced all weather traction and consistent hydroplaning resistance work together to ensure a safer year round driving experience.

It keeps the tire's road contact at all times, which enhances the steering responsiveness and driving stability. In this manner, the tire's structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting it, while the steering becomes quick and precise in its responsiveness to the driver's commands. The shoulder tread block design also improves the performance and control, as it increases the number of biting edges that grip the road surface during cornering and maneuvering. The result is a secure performance in all conditions.

The ribbed tread design closely follows the road surface all year round. This manages to reduce the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin during the drive as the constant road contact does not create them. The tread design also manages to lower the road noise levels by negating the generated noise. The reduced road noise and vibrations levels ensure an enjoyable driving experience.
