: If you drive in harsh weather, look for Michelin Biting Edge technology, which uses specialized tread patterns to grab onto mud, snow, and ice.
: For a smoother ride, new patterns like those in the Advan dB V553 are engineered to stay quiet even as the tire wears down over time.
: Some high-end tires can now automatically alter their tread stiffness when they detect wet surfaces, significantly reducing the risk of hydroplaning.
