The durable compound and optimal tread design also enhance the tire's dry, wet, and winter-weather grip. As a result, the tire manages to upgrade its year-round performance. In other words, the stronger compound keeps the tire pliable in various temperatures, while the tread elements provide the necessary traction. During the tire's on-road drive, the grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the footprint. This effectively enhances the tire's wet weather performance.
