Notes
- The actual Tread Pattern for your specific tire may vary slightly from the displayed images based on the size and/or width of the actual tire ordered.
Features
''Newly Enhanced'' 3D Canyon Sipe Technology
Much thinner sipe design increases sipe density by 25% (then its predecessor) which allows for more edges per tread block. This increases ice braking and enhances snow and wet traction.
High-Density Sipes
Move water and snow away from the tread surface for continuous road connection with over 13,000 millimeters in edges added from its predecessor.
Strategically Designed Rib Placement
Ideal for excellent handling no matter the road surface condition. Larger outer-edge block-style ribs provide a comfortable and stable drive while maneuvering the vehicle.
Specialized Rubber Tread Compound
Provides pliability at low temperatures for excellent winter driving ability in snowy and icy conditions.
Silica Enriched Polymer
Utilized to help maintain tire flexibility in cold weather which allows for consistent winter performance.
Wide Lateral Grooves
Work together with wide pockets built into the tire to allow more snow to pack into the tread, clearing the road surface quicker for increased snow traction in slushy or deep snow conditions.
Wide Circumferential Grooves
Channel water away from the tread for consistent contact with the road surface, increasing wet traction and driver confidence.
