The asymmetric tread design and the all season compound work together to enhance dry, wet, and winter road grip. In other words, the tread design firmly grips the road surface with additional biting edges, while the compound keeps the rubber flexible in versatile temperatures. This model also prevents hydroplaning, thanks to the wide grooves on the tread pattern. These grooves eliminate water and slush from the footprint, protecting the tire against slipping in wet situations.
