This is ensured with the all season compound and the asymmetric ribbed tread design, optimizing its dry, wet, and winter grip. They improve the tire's grip on the road surface with extra biting edges, which optimize road traction. Stronger rubber materials keep the tire pliable throughout the year, improving its summer and winter performance. Circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning in wet conditions, as they channel water and slush from below the footprint.
