The tread design, with the large siped tread blocks, and the durable tire compound increases the cold temperature, dry, wet, and winter-weather road grip. The compound keeps the tire pliable even in freezing temperatures, while the tread elements enhance the road grip. The optimized groove details and open shoulder pattern avoid hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the footprint. This tire was designed to withstand severe winter weather. Furthermore, it was pinned for studs that enhance the ice and snow grip. It received the three-mounted peak and snowflake symbol for its excellent performance.
