Improved safety against aquaplaning.
Wide tread grooves displace more water and optimise the tyre's contact area with the road - for greater safety in wet conditions.
Improved handling on wet surfaces.
The special rain tyre compound increases the effective grip on the road; large, rigid shoulder blocks reduce deformation when cornering. These two combined improves handling, especially when cornering on wet roads.
Very good traction on snow.
High sipe density increases crushing of snow for a better traction.
