The silica compound enhances the model's traction while the 3D sipes improve the road gripping ability. It has excellent lateral and longitudinal traction as a result. The tread grooves prevent dangerous hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from below the tire footprint. This enhances the wet and winter weather traction as well and offers a safe all year driving experience.

Even though it is technically classified as an all season model, this tire is marked with the tire industry's three mountain and snowflake symbol for its great grip in winter conditions. The tread blocks make the tire's center rib flexible enough to handle driving on ice- and snow-covered roads, while the silica-based tire compound increases the road grip in such situations.

The tread block sequence prevents irregular wear patterns from forming on the tread area by distributing the driving pressure equally across the tire. The better distribution of the forces of acceleration, cornering and braking extends the tread life and the tire's usability. The same tread block sequence reduces the road and pattern noise heard in the cabin of the vehicle. The variable pitch tread pattern lowers the road noise by canceling out the soundwaves with the frequency that they create. The result is a quiet and comfortable driving experience.

This upgrades the driving stability and the steering precision and responsiveness. The better stability and steering allows the driver to confidently control the tire in all weather.
