The tire's tread pattern and its all season compound work together to boost the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The tread design features an optimized siping detail that firmly grips the ice- and snow-covered road surface with the biting edges they provide in winter weather. The compound maintains its flexible traction throughout the year, including in winter conditions. The tread's circumferential grooves, during on-road performance, disperse water and slush from the footprint to effectively resist hydroplaning. The improved all weather traction and exceptional all weather performance ensure a secure year round driving experience.
