The model utilizes its winter compound and detailed directional tread pattern to boost the ice and snow grip. The compound maintains the rubber flexibility in colder temperatures, keeping the tire pliable in such conditions. The detailed tread's zigzag grooves, dual-action shoulder grooves, interlocking and adaptive 3D sipes and special slush grooves work together to enhance the grip on the ice- and snow-covered road surfaces. The zigzag circumferential grooves' 3D shaped walls pack and expel the snow improving the necessary traction, which improves the snow-on-snow performance. The circumferential grooves and dual-action shoulder grooves also manage to prevent hydroplaning as they channel water and slush away from the footprint. In this manner, the tire increases the winter weather driving safety.
