The asymmetric tread pattern and the summer compound enhance the tire's dry and wet weather traction. In other words, the optimized tread elements follow the road surface in the summer season, while the special silica compound protects the tire against heat build-up along the tread area in warmer temperatures. Circumferential grooves avoid hydroplaning in wet situations. These grooves eliminate water from the footprint, in order to protect the tire against slipping during the performance.
