The detailed directional tread design and the winter weather traction upgrade the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The tread pattern with the high siping density and the winter weather compound increase the grip the tire has on the ice and snow-covered road surface, while the special silica-compound maintains its flexibility even in colder temperatures. The circumferential and V-shaped lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The tire is pinned for studs, which can be added to the tread to further improve the ice and snow grip. The better winter weather traction ensures a safer performing capability.
