Footprint shape under handling conditions:

• Strong lateral forces on the outside
• Large double blocks on the pattern outside resist the stress

_____________________________________________________________

New progressive interlocking sinusoidal sipes:

Low interlocking area inside the block provides

• increased sipe filling with snow
• higher effective snow-snowfriction

_____________________________________________________________

Increased number of traction oriented block edges:

• Outstanding snow performance on all winter roads

_____________________________________________________________

Increased number of traction oriented block edges:

• Supported by a strongly siped block design

Multi Edge Sipes:

• provide a maximum filling of the sipe with snow under traction conditions
• interlocked step design for block element stabilization and to minimise stone catching
• sipes down to 2 mm remaining nonskid

Aquaplaning :

• Depending on the tread width, 3 or 4 wide circumferential grooves ensure fast drainage
• Flow optimised shoulder grooves
