These improvements ensure the tire's dry, wet, and winter-weather grip. Stronger rubber materials keep the tire pliable throughout the year, upgrading its summer and winter weather traction. The tread block placement and the sipe detail heighten the number of biting edges gripping the road during the drive. The tread area also features zigzag circumferential grooves that prevent hydroplaning. They channel water and slush from the footprint, further improving wet traction.
