The tread pattern and the all season tire compound work together to ensure a safer dry, wet and winter weather performance. The tread design's detailed center pattern and larger shoulder blocks increase the road gripping ability throughout the year, while the special compound keeps its flexibility even in colder temperatures. The wide circumferential and smaller lateral grooves effectively resist hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The combination of the first-rate traction and the prevention of hydroplaning guarantees a secure year round driving experience.
