WinterCommand tires feature a specialized, winter-focused compound that is designed to maintain flexibility for confident traction in low temperatures. The compound is molded into a directional tread pattern featuring deep circumferential grooves, wide lateral notches and open shoulder slots to help channel slush and standing water away from the contact patch. The high sipe density pattern utilizes full-depth, zigzag sipes to create thousands of biting edges for grip in snow and on ice.
