The model is M+S rated for its excellent traction in both mud and snow and its great road gripping ability in dry, wet and winter weather. The tread design's wide grooves actively avoid hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from below the tire footprint. The better road gripping ability and the hydroplaning resistance secures a safer year round driving experience.

The center tread area maintains constant road contact and effectively grips the road in all conditions, which enhances the stability and boosts the steering responsiveness and accuracy. The shoulder tread design provides additional biting edges during cornering and maneuvering situations. This upgrades the tire's cornering ability and power and increases the driving safety.

The half-closed shoulder tread pattern reduces the road noise heard in the cabin of the vehicle. It channels the soundwaves away from the tread area and, as they do not come into contact with the tread elements, no road noise is generated when the tire is in motion. This guarantees an enjoyable driving experience.

The optimized footprint evenly distributes the driving force across the tread area which eases the pressure off of one area of the tread. The longer lasting even wear extends the tread life and durability significantly.
