Released in 2014, this studless winter tyre is engineered for milder winter conditions with a V-shaped tread design that enhances stability on slippery surfaces. The tyre demonstrates strong performance on snow and ice with excellent water evacuation through lateral grooves, though it shows weaker performance on wet and dry roads.

The tyre generates approximately 70 decibels of external noise and offers 3PMSF certification for winter driving.
