The asymmetric tread pattern and the winter compound enhance the tire's grip on ice- and snow-covered surfaces. In this manner, the asymmetric tread pattern closely follows the road surface in winter conditions, while the compound keeps the rubber flexible in freezing temperatures. At the same time, the optimized grooves effectively eliminate water and slush from the footprint, in order to resist hydroplaning.

The asymmetric tread pattern and its close contact with the road boost steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, the tire's steering response time is quicker and more precise to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting it. The wide shoulder blocks and their close contact with the driving surface boost the tire's cornering and maneuvering. The special siping details shorten the braking distance by creating friction while stopping. As a result, the driver has full control over the vehicle.

This tread pattern manages to negate sound waves heard in the vehicle's cabin while the tires are in motion. This pattern cancels out noise heard by the passengers, preventing road disturbances from ruining the passengers's driving enjoyment. This tire also also designed with the PNCS technology, which is applied to the inside of the tire. It lowers road and tread noise by weakening sound waves during the drive. The result is a quiet driving experience.

The reinforced internal structure manages to maintain the ideal tire shape under the driving pressure affecting it. As the tire does not deform, it ensures excellent high speed performance. On the other hand, the durable rubber compound prevents pressure accumulation along the tread area. This combination enables the tire to perform at its best high speed capability.
