It combines its symmetric tread pattern, with the high-density siping detail, and its all season compound to increase the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The model's close road contact improves the grip it has on the road surface, while the zigzag siping detail's biting edges boost the ice and snow traction. The all season compound keeps its traction and flexibility all year round, even in colder temperatures. The tread's circumferential grooves help prevent hydroplaning. They disperse water and slush from beneath the tire's footprint and avoid hydroplaning in wet and winter weather.
