Features
''Newly Enhanced'' 3D Canyon Sipe Technology
Increases ice braking, and enhances snow, wet and dry handling by allowing more edges per tread block, yet still provides individual block rigidity by working together to support each other, suppressing block flex.
Directional Tread Design
Built for wet weather performance, the directional tread design improves hydroplaning resistance by quickly dispersing water.
Wide Lateral Grooves
Work together with wide pockets built into the tire to allow more snow to pack into the tread, clearing the road surface quicker for increased snow traction in slushy or deep snow conditions.
High-Density Sipes
Move water and snow away from the tread surface for continuous road connection with over 13,000 millimeters in edges added from its predecessor.
Wide Circumferential Grooves
Channel water away from the tread for consistent contact with the road surface, increasing wet traction and driver confidence.
Stability Bars
Keep the tread blocks stable while cornering providing confident handling.
