The all season tire compound and the special tread design, with the staggered tread blocks and open shoulders, increase the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The wide tread grooves manage to resist hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The tread design also manages to prevent snow from packing into the tread grooves, which could block the tire from its contact with the road surface. The better hydroplaning resistance, clean footprint and ensured all weather traction boost the year round driving security.
