Lamella crystals, called Fraipontite, help "vacuum" away moisture from under the footprint allowing better direct contact between the tread compound and the road surface.
Silica in the tread compound helps rubber retain it's softness in low temperature conditions and resists hardening with age.
Improved Microbit Technology with the larger walnut shell particle, increases traction and braking on compacted snow and ice.
Increased sipe density further improves water evacuation resulting in improved levels of ice traction.
