It is manufactured with a special silica compound blend and its tread is molded into an asymmetric pattern. The silica compound maintains its flexibility even in colder temperatures, while the tread elements firmly grip the road surface in dry, wet and winter weather. The center S-cross block boosts the snow and ice traction and the detailed siping design finds good grip at all times. The four circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The enhanced hydroplaning prevention and all weather traction ensure a secure driving experience.
