The directional tread pattern firmly grips the road surface with extra biting edges. This enables the tire to easily handle ice- and snow-covered road surfaces. On the other hand, the special winter compound manages to keep the rubber flexible in freezing temperatures. At the same time, the optimized grooves effectively eliminate water and slush from the footprint, protecting the tire against hydroplaning.

The directional tread pattern and its constant driving surface contact boost the tire's steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, the tire's steering response time becomes faster and more accurate to the driver's commands. Additionally, the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the tire. Also, the wide shoulder blocks help the tire have better cornering and maneuvering. As a result, the driver has full control over the vehicle at all times.

The directional tread pattern and the wear-resistant compound prevent irregular and premature wear formations. In this manner, the ideal tread design evenly distributes driving pressure along the tread area, while the special silica compound slows the treadwear rate down. This combination enables the tire to lengthen its service life.
