The weather control compound and the tread design ensure a safe driving experience. The detailed tread pattern offers constant road contact, thanks to the sipping details and slush edges. The high-density summer sipes provide better dry road performance, while the lateral grooves eliminate water and slush from the footprint and boost the wet weather traction. The 3D GripKontrol sipe is a zigzag block shape, which enhances the grip on the snow-, ice-, and slush-covered road surfaces. These elements provide outstanding year-round performance.
