Open shoulder design - additional traction in adverse weather and snow conditions.
Infini-Coil Technology™ - incorporates a 1/4 mile of steel cable to help eliminate casing growth and ensure a consistent footprint.
Matrix™ Siping. Matrix™ siping provides interlocking action which offers excellent traction and even wear. Zig-Zag groove walls provide optimized biting edges and excellent water and snow evacuation. Full depth sipes provide excellent traction throughout the life of the tread.
Extra-wide tread - excellent stability and long wear life.
Multiple tread compounds - to keep the casing cooler and optimize retreadability.
Rectangular bead bundle - a Michelin® exclusive - simulates a solid steel rod 'strapping' the tire onto the wheel. This design stabilizes the entire bead region and minimizes fatigue in order to extend casing life.
SipeSaver Technology - teardrop at the base of the sipes relieves stresses and helps prevent tearing.
