The symmetric ribbed tread pattern and the silica-based tire compound work together to improve the tire's grip in dry, wet and winter conditions. The compound keeps the tire's flexibility in various temperatures, including in winter weather, while the tire's tread elements increase the grip on the road surface throughout the year. The tread's circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the footprint, increasing the tire's all weather driving safety.
