Product features:
- Directional Tread Pattern: A directional tread design with staggered tread blocks maximizes traction and handling while improving ride comfort by reducing road noise.
- Serrated Stability Rib: A continuous centre rib adds stability during highway driving or when changing lanes. A unique serrated design digs into deep snow and slush for better cold weather traction.
- Split Offset Shoulder Blocks: Large outer blocks on the outside shoulder add stability to the tire as well as grabbing power in deep snow. The saw-tooth edges add lateral traction while cornering.
- 4 Circumferential Grooves: Efficiently evacuate moisture from under the tire for better grip.
- High Density 3D Sipes: Toyo’s Multi Wave 3D siping provides for more edge effect while ensuring the blocks remain firmer while braking, cornering or accelerating. This improves performance and reduces the risk of irregular wear.
- First Edge Sipe: A shallow initial edge sipe throughout the tire helps with traction during the tires break-in period
- Tapered Shoulder Wedge: A tapered buttress design along with unique outside block grooves on Microbit Technology in Compound: Crushed walnut shells embedded in the tire tread compound dig and bite into the ice surface for improved traction.
- Large Inner Blocks with Saw Toothed Edges: Larger inner blocks add stability at highway speeds. These blocks are tied together in the GSi-6 HP model for added handling performance. While the saw-tooth edges around the block add biting grip in deep snow and slush covered roads.
- Snow Claws: These edges within the tread grooves enhance traction in deep snow or slush.
- Tapered Evacuation Grooves: Quickly move the water or slush away from the center of the tire to reduce the risk of hydroplaning or getting caught in slushy rutted roads.
- Spiral Edge Sipe: A unique 360 degree spiral edge sipe is designed to improve traction while accelerating, cornering or braking.
- Shoulder Lightning Edge: A jagged lightning style sipe in the shoulder blocks adds lateral traction when cornering.
