The 3-peaked mountain snowflake designates its all-weather tire readiness, with four wide longitudinal providing excellent drainage to combat hydroplaning and deliver better wet braking performance. Large Tread Blocks (LT Metric) provide better stability at highway speeds and enhance handling while better controlling road noise. Stability is further enhanced through the use of Optimized Lug Grooves that work in tandem with Variable Angled Lateral Grooves to help prevent sliding while cornering. All weather traction if further enhanced by 3-D Shaped Sipes that maintain tread block rigidity, with the added benefit of improving tire wear.
