Different types of driving (turning, braking, including emergency braking) on winter roads will involve different sipe surfaces, which help to maximise road grip and provide excellent drainage of the road, water, and melting snow.
The unique tread design means the tyre's sipe forms a different angle with the direction of travel.
Therefore, no matter the position of the tyre, some sipes continue to work effectively, maintaining grip on the road. This improves handling in straight lines and turns.
Thanks to 3D GRIPPING technology, the effective surface of the 3D sipe remains the same, even if it is worn, the wet road grip remains the same.
