The tread pattern's open shoulder grooves increase the tire's all weather traction and promote first-rate road gripping ability. This tread design further enhances the wet and winter weather traction. The wide circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by eliminating water from below the tire footprint. The better hydroplaning resistance and the increased weather traction boost the all weather controllability and handling as well. The enhanced traction maintains constant road contact which guarantees a better steering responsiveness and driving control.

The Dura Shield construction maintains the tire's optimized shape under all weather and road conditions. As the tire does not deform under the driving pressure, it prevents the driving pressure from concentrating on one area of the tread. This, along with the solid shoulder tread blocks, prevents irregular tread wear as they evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area. The tread design's full-depth sipes also increase the tread life as they do not wear out with the tread wear. Instead they provide traction and road grip throughout the tire's tread life.

The Dura Shield construction improves its performance on tougher terrain. It strengthens the tire's construction and avoids deformation during the drive. As the tire maintains its optimal tire shape, it is capable of performing well both on and off-road. The off-road traction is further enhanced with the tread pattern's open shoulder design. It firmly grips the road surface in all weather and road conditions and allows the model to perform to its utmost capability in all driving conditions.

The tread design's computer optimized pitch negates the road pattern noise heard while the tires are in motion. They create a soundwave that cancels the road noise heard in the vehicle's cabin. The lowered road noise levels ensure an enjoyable drive in all weather.
