The tire greatly improves its year-round performance, as it combines its all season compound and Dual-Nature asymmetric footprint. Stronger compound elements keep the tire pliable throughout the year. On the other hand, the ideal tread elements provide biting edges necessary for a safer dry, wet, and winter grip. The footprint features five circumferential grooves that channel water and slush from the footprint, combating hydroplaning in the process.
