Safe through winter with i*cept technology. Excellent snow handling thanks to 3D winter sipes and microedges enhances traction performance on icy and heavily snow-covered roads. Safe braking in snow: 3D winter sipes shorten the braking distance, making driving in snow safer. Confident grip on ice: With optimized block stiffness and improved ice traction, you have more safety when driving on icy roads. Outstanding anti-aquaplaning: A water drainage groove and a water and snow slush channel reduce the risk of aquaplaning and enhance performance on wet roads. Balanced wet handling: The new W-shaped profile with inclined tread blocks ensures better steering control in the rain. Improved wet braking performance: The new rubber compound allows for safer braking on wet roads. Higher mileage: Thanks to the optimized rubber compound, wear is reduced, and the new construction achieves improved road contact.
