Straight and lateral grooves have been made wide and radial-directional, multi-wave kerfs have been inserted into the tread block to maximize the edge effect
The groove widths increase as they reach the shoulders, enhancing water drainage
A special studless tread compound has also been used to further braking performance
An unidirectional, "V"-shaped tread pattern and straight grooves in the tread center provide outstanding handling at high speed
The wide footprint delivers a powerful grip and excellent driving stability on snowy and icy roads
The pitch arrangement has also been designed by computer simulation to minimize pattern noise
