Newest winter compound - multicell/foamy compound (also called 'nordic') rich with high distribution silica to maintain elasticity and frictive qualities of tyre tread in extremely low ambient temperatures and guarantee consistent performance. Enhanced ice surface performance - multicell compound and micro-pumps on tread blocks have function of absorbing water film from ice surface, eliminating slippery factor and improving grip.
Micro-pumps and foamy compound also improve wet asphalt traction of the tyre. New innovative design of tread sipes - fully 3D zig-zag shaped sipes enhance rigidity of tread blocks and thus help to maintain maximum contact patch and to minimize shape twist of grooves for better water/slush evacuation. Outer side of grooves walls has more slope angle to improve cornering traction and stability, also featuring bumps on groove walls to disrupt air flow and reduce noise generation
Center rib design features empty pitches, with long and narrow following wide and short - improving accelerating traction and reducing noise, and S-shaped sipe to enhance accelerating traction. Wide circumferential and lateral grooves designed to evacuate water and slush efficiently. Shoulder blocks feature W-shaped micro-grooves which increase responsiveness of tyre while cornering, also being an addition to decorative pattern of shoulder outer wall. 9 different tread block shapes are used to decrease noise
