• Brakes 8% shorter than its competitors* on the snow; 
• Excellent control in cold weather (Adaptative SipeGrip technology);
• Resists aquaplaning because of the hydrodynamic V-shaped grooves and the intermediary circumferential grooves; 
• Maintains its grip on all low temperature surfaces thanks to a silica-polymer compound.
