4. Design Features Refined Dynamic Shape Tread Pattern
4 Channel Rib Type Design
3D Kerf Advanced 3D kerfs have been applied to the tire to reinforce winter traction and prevent wear without hampering wet and dry handling performance.
Capillary Kerf Maximizes wet grip by evacuating water through slanted kerf linked to the tire’s main grooves.
2D Kerf
Carving Edge The sharp edges of the lateral grooves maximize winter performance.
