Mud terrain tires offer excellent durability and off-road driving capability throughout the year. Their tread design and internal structure maintain the optimal tire shape and guarantee a secure driving experience. The compound and aggressive tread design enhances the all weather traction and road grip, while the optimal tread design also improves the tire’s controllability.

Priority Tire offers a wide range of mud terrain tires for light trucks in its tire line up. One of our most popular models is the BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM3. This model ensures a first-rate off-road terrain performance and exceptional durability and damage resistance. It guarantees a secure driving experience throughout the tire’s extended lifetime.

MUD TERRAIN PERFORMANCE

Mud terrain performance

Mud terrain tires have the advantage when it comes to off-road terrain surfaces. They are capable of maintaining a firm grip on the soft, loose and uneven terrain surface at all times, but they are not meant to be used on-road. Excessive on-road use can increase their tread wear rate and it causes excessive road noise levels during the drive.

The Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 guarantees excellent off-road performance. The Terrain Attack tread design features large, staggered tread blocks that firmly grip the surface to improve the driving safety. They, along with the high void ratio and the optimal shoulder tread design, improve the tire’s off-road traction and ensure a safer drive. The large tread blocks boost the number of biting edges gripping the terrain, while the shoulder pattern improves the model’s side bite when driving through deep mud or loose dirt.

The tread’s wide groove pattern improves its contact with the terrain surface. The staggered tread blocks, high void ratio and special Mud-Phobic bars prevent mud and snow from packing in between the tread elements and blocking the tire’s contact with the surface. In this manner, the tire keeps a clean footprint to promote secure road contact throughout its performance.

ALL WEATHER PERFORMANCE

Tires that can perform on off-road terrain surfaces ensure exceptional all season traction as well. Their durable performance enables them to firmly grip the terrain surface all year round and to ensure a secure performing capability.

The tread pattern and all season tire compound of the Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 boosts its dry, wet and winter weather road gripping capability. The tread elements firmly grip the road surface at all times, even when driving on ice and snow-covered surfaces, while the compound maintains the tire’s rubber flexibility throughout the year, including in colder temperatures. The better all weather performance enables the tire’s safer performance.

HANDLING AND CONTROLLABILITY

Off-road handling and controllability

All tires must have quick and precise steering responsiveness and a stabilized structure to safely perform throughout their lifetime. As tires are the only link between the road surface and the vehicle and their tread design and shape determine the vehicle’s controllability both on- and off-road. The better controllability guarantees a secure performance.

The Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 features a continuous center tread block sequence that keeps the tire’s terrain contact at all times. The better contact with the terrain surface improves the steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, the steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver’s commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the model. The shoulder tread block pattern manages to increase the cornering capability. They heighten the number of biting edges gripping the surface during cornering and, with it, increase the maneuvering ability and power.

DAMAGE RESISTANCE

Off-road courses can be dangerous as tires can easily get damaged. As a result, manufacturers strive to improve the durability of their tires. These tires are designed and produced with reinforced constructions that ensure the tire’s safe performance.

The Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 was manufactured with a thick sidewall and shoulder compound and a durable reinforced polyester and steel belt internal structure. The thicker compound prevents punctures, cuts and chipping from shortening the tire’s usability. The stronger internal structure maintains the tire’s optimal shape under the driving pressure affecting the model. This allows the tire to perform to its highest capability as the shape does not deform during its performance.

The tire’s special stone ejecting ribs also manage to avoid stone retention. These ribs, located in the tread grooves, eliminate rocks and stones stuck between the tread elements. As a result, the tire maintains a clean footprint and actively resists stone retention from drilling into the tire’s casing and damaging it.
