The tire offers exceptional traction in severe winter conditions. The directional pattern features 3D Canyon sipes and it is molded from a special 4D Nano Design compound in order to enhance the winter grip. These elements provide extra biting edges to grip the ice- and snow-covered road surfaces, while the compound keeps the rubber flexibility throughout the performance. The angled lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the footprint. The tread area is pinned for studs, which can increase the traction in wet conditions.

The directional treads stability maintains the surface contact at all times, which boosts the steering responsiveness and driving stability. In this manner, a faster and more accurate steering response is guaranteed. It also offers exceptional structural stability throughout the performance. The detailed sipes generate friction when the tire is stopping. This helps the tire to significantly decrease the overall braking distance, providing a safer winter weather performance. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
