The asymmetric tread pattern features a dual zone design: one dry and one wet. They increase the dry and wet weather traction, with the tread area corresponding with the specific conditions. The model, however, is not meant to be used in winter weather, as the compound does not maintain its flexibility in colder temperatures. The wide circumferential tread grooves actively resist hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The result is a secure summer weather performance.
