Braking

Feature: Large number of sipes

Effect: Optimized formation of gripping edges

Benefit: Outstanding braking performance on wet roads, as well as in snow and ice

___________________________

Traction

Feature: Large number of blocks and sipes on the
tire shoulders. Use of zero degree sinusoidal sipes

Effect: More gripping edges, better „digging in“ effect in snow, deep interlocking with snow

Benefit: Enhanced „snow-to-snow“ grip, enhanced traction in snow
___________________________

Snow-Steering precision

Feature: Large number of lateral edges in the tread pattern

Effect: Better steering precision in snow, thanks to numerous edges in circumferential direction

Benefit: Enhanced handling in snow

___________________________

Hydroplaning

Feature: Shortest distance for water
to travel is longitudinally through the ground contact patch

Effect: Quicker water dispersion

Benefit: High protection against aquaplaning

___________________________

Handling on dry roads

Feature: Divided tread

Effect: High tread stiffness, good support for the individual tread blocks

Benefit: Improved handling, very good steering response

___________________________

Mileage performance

Feature: Even distribution
of block stiffness

Effect: Even pressure distribution in the ground contact patch

Benefit: Lower and more even wear, resulting in higher mileage performance
