The optimal tread pattern and the all season tire compound enhance the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The flat footprint and the individual tread elements work together to increase the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping capability, while the tire compound succeeds in maintaining its flexibility in all weather. The tread's wide circumferential and smaller lateral grooves actively resist hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The increased hydroplaning resistance and all weather traction work together to upgrade year round driving experience.
