The directional tread design features a continuous center rib and large shoulder tread blocks that closely follow the road surface at all times. The center rib's maintained road contact increases the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The ideal shoulder tread block placement increases the cornering capability. They provide additional biting edges which ensure the tire's grip during maneuvering even when driving on ice- and snow-covered road surfaces. This combination improves the winter weather driving safety significantly.

The tire utilizes its directional tread pattern (with the high density siping detail) and winter weather compound to boost the cold temperature road gripping capability. Even on an ice- and snow-covered road surface, the tread's siping detail firmly grips the road to ensure a secure performance. The higher number of biting edges enable the tire's secure driving throughout the winter season. The compound keeps the tire pliable even in the coldest temperatures, guaranteeing a safer performance. The tire is pinned for studs, which can be added for extra grip on slippery road surfaces, promoting a safer driving experience.
