The ribbed tread design can easily perform in dry, wet, and winter conditions, while the all weather compound keeps the rubber flexible in both warm and freezing temperatures. The model sports the 3MPSF symbol, which means that it can safely handle harsh winter conditions as well. The tread design can maintain forward motion even on ice- and snow-covered surfaces. On the other hand, large circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning, by dispersing water and slush from the footprint.
