Advanced Winter Technology:

• High Grip Silica Tread Compound: Delivers excellent traction on snow and ice with enhanced wet grip and braking performance in low temperatures
• Absorbent Carbonic Powder: Bamboo-derived carbonic powder absorbs the thin film of moisture on icy roads for increased grip and better contact
• Microbit Technology: Microscopic particles embedded in the compound provide additional biting edges for superior ice traction
• Unique 360-Degree Spiral Edge Sipe Design: High-density 3D sipes with innovative geometry maintain block rigidity while maximizing snow and ice grip

Performance-Focused Tread Design:

• Directional Tread Pattern: Staggered tread blocks with serrated stability rib enhance handling precision and steering response
• Split Offset Shoulder Blocks: Shoulder lightning edges provide aggressive cornering grip on winter roads
• Four Circumferential Grooves: Tapered evacuation grooves efficiently channel water and slush away from the contact patch
• Snow Claws: Specialized edges within the tread grooves trap and compact snow for enhanced traction
• Large Inner Blocks with Sawtoothed Edges: Plow edges and tapered shoulder wedges bite into snow for confident acceleration and braking
