Excellent traction on snow through optimal orientation of the edges on the profile blocks and zigzag grooves in the peripheral grooves and a large number of transverse laminations.

Evenly arranged step-type laminations and additional profile grooves in the peripheral direction ensure reliable handling on snow.

The large number of transverse grooves helps to quickly move water away to both sides and so reduce the risk of aquaplaning. In addition, the silica mix that was optimised for wet grip also ensures for short braking paths in the wet.

The two stiff middle belts in the peripheral direction provide for stability when braking and accelerating in the dry. The profile connections between the shoulder blocks increase driving stability and safety when cornering. Step-type laminations support the profile blocks and ensure for safety in handling.

The offset arrangement of the profile blocks reduces the level of road noise and greatly increases riding comfort as a result.

A extra layer of rubber on the sidewall and the shaped rubbing strip increase the life of the tyre in hard day to day use.
