The tire is not recommended for winter use, as the tread compound loses its traction on ice and in snow and it does not grip the road well in colder temperatures. The tire helps resist hydroplaning by channeling water from below the footprint for an increased wet traction and superb hydroplaning resistance.

The continuous center rib on the tread maintains constant road contact, which improves the high speed linear stability of the tire, as well as its steering responsiveness and precision. As the tire is swift and accurate in its response to the driver's commands, the driver is capable of confidently steering the tire in dry and wet weather. The interconnecting tread blocks on the tire's tread area enhance the cornering ability and power. They provide additional biting edges in cornering situations, thanks to their constant road contact. The better driving stability, cornering ability and steering responsiveness make the tire better for high speed driving.

This enables the tire to maintain its traction, as the tread never gets blocked from its road contact. The rim guard on the sidewall of the tire protects the rim from any accidental curb damage that can happen during high speed driving.
