- Independent block tread design - Has an Edge Effect to enhance winter traction without having to have traditional metal studs. - Aggressive off-shoulder tread blocks - Adds extra bite in mud and snow. - Semi-Smooth Blocks- Promote higher tread stiffness for improved handling while enhancing water evacuation. - Open shoulder slots- Aids water evacuation for wet grip. - Steel belt construction- Adds durability and resists punctures - CO-CS (Computer Optimized Component System) - Maximizes tire performance by optimizing the appropriate combination of tread design, casing shape, materials, and construction. - Stepped Inside Notch and Saw Tooth Groove - Contribute to snow traction. - O-Bead- improves uniformity and ride comfort through use of a single continuous strand of cable in the bead construction - Spiral Wrap- Encircles the whole tire with a continuous nylon wrap , helping the tire hold its original shape to improve high speed capability. - All-Season Tread Design - Enhances year-round performance with open-slotted shoulders. - Dual-Layer Tread- Minimizes the effect of wear on wet tire performance by exposing high grip rubber as the tire wears. - Lateral Grooves- Efficient evacuation and channeling of water that helps reduce hydroplaning and improves wet traction - L.L. Carbon (Long Link) - Helps improve tread wear and resist cracking, chipping and tearing through the use of a special long length carbon structure
