The tire grips the road well and performs superbly in dry, cold temperatures, in snow and on ice. While its use in the winter offers safety, the tire cannot be used in the summer months as the rubber will wear out quicker due to the heat. The tread pattern features a dense siping design which provides additional biting edges in snow. The directional tread pattern with the curved grooves further enhance the safety of the model as they channel water and slush from below the footprint, effectively resisting hydroplaning.

The tread pattern features 12 stud rows which cover the entire tread area of the tire. If the owner chooses to stud their tires, they will achieve additional road grip. The studs make it able to conquer severe winter weather safely, as they increase the tire's road gripping ability.

The better stability upgrades the performing capability of the tire, allowing the driver to bring out its full potential on dry, cold-weather roads. This directional pattern, along with the larger tire footprint, keeps constant contact between the tire and the road. The heightened road contact allows the tire to swiftly and precisely respond to the driver's commands. This remarkable steering responsiveness of the tire permits the driver to control the tire confidently.
