The silica-based tire compound and the detailed tread design work together to boost the tire's grip in dry, wet and winter weather road conditions. The compound enhances the traction, while the tread elements optimize the number of biting edges gripping the road surface throughout the tire's performance. The tread's four circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush away from the tire's footprint. This enables the tire's safer performance all year.

The ribbed tread design manages to closely follow the road surface at all times, which increases the steering responsiveness and the driving stability significantly. In this manner, the steering becomes faster and more precise in its responsiveness to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the tire. The optional continuous shoulder tread block placement heightens the number of biting edges gripping the road surface, which upgrades the cornering capability and power. The better controllability enables the tire's safer high speed performance throughout the year.

The silica compound optimizes the tire's all weather traction, which eases the driving pressure off the tire. This lowers the tire's rolling resistance, which is the external pressure affecting the tire that determines the amount of energy the vehicle consumes to keep the tires in motion. The lowered rolling resistance decreases the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, guaranteeing a fuel conscious performance.

The tread design features special serrated groove walls which dampen the sound waves by channeling them through the tire's footprint. These groove walls prevent the soundwaves from coming into contact with the tread elements. As a result, the road and tread pattern noise are not generated during the drive, and they do not disturb the passenger's driving comfort. This ensures a quiet and comfortable driving experience.
