High Traction Tread Design
The intricate tread pattern balances winter traction and a smooth, quiet ride. The deep lateral and notched circumferential grooves provide excellent evacuation of water and slush from the tread contact patch.
Patented Snow Groove Design Technology
Provides biting edges for excellent snow and ice traction without reducing element stiffness. The snow groove enhances the retention of snow in the outer circumferential grooves to capitalize on the higher traction characteristics of snow on snow versus snow on rubber.
Enhanced Studded Performance
A new stud pin hole design improves stud retention and the number has been increased allowing for the use of a greater number of studs for better traction on ice. For the studded version of this tire
