When developing a tread design for passenger cars, the manufacturer proceeded from the fact that a complex “pattern” would be imprinted on the snowy roads of Scandinavia and Russia.

The tire discovers four deep through drainage channels in the center. The grooves divide the tread into five functional sectors, including two shoulder areas.
Middle belts promise excellent directional stability, good acceleration. Massive identical shoulder blocks leave an imprint transverse to the movement on the snow.
