It has received its M+S rating thanks to the special tread design and the all season tire compound. They work together to ensure a safer driving experience by maintaining a firm grip on the road surface in dry, wet and winter weather. The wide circumferential and the numerous lateral grooves actively resist hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from beneath the tire's footprint. The enhanced hydroplaning prevention and excellent all weather traction ensure a more secure year round drive.

The tread pattern maintains constant road contact which improves the steering responsiveness and driving stability significantly. The tread's center rib stabilizes the tire against the driving pressure affecting it in all conditions. The shoulder tread blocks increase the number of biting edges which not only enhances the cornering capability, but also boosts the steering responsiveness and accuracy. The better steering and stability guarantee upgraded handling in all weather.

Its stronger casing and its optimized tread design boost its slight off-road driving capability. The reinforced casing and the tread pattern also improve the tire's tread life, by preventing irregular wear from forming across the tread area. The enhanced durability and the longer lasting tread life make the tire more cost efficient.
