Goodyear Tracker Mud Runner Review

Mud terrain ATV and UTV tires are made for durability. Their construction, tread design and tire compounds are capable of handling severe off-road terrain surface conditions, guaranteeing safer driving experience in versatile terrain conditions. However, at times these tires need to be deflated to maintain proper traction. In such cases, they can separate from the rim. To prevent this bead lock wheels have been invented.

You can purchase the Goodyear Tracker Mud Runner tire model which requires a bead lock wheel, here at Priority Tire. This model combines excellent off-road traction, damage resistance and great controllability throughout its lifetime. However, for the model to securely perform throughout its lifetime, it has to be mounted on a bead lock wheel.

Bead Lock Wheel Needed

Bead lock tires are manufactured to be mounted on specialized bead lock wheels. As their name suggests, these wheels lock the tire to the wheel, ensuring they rotate together to prevent the tire slipping off the rim.

The Goodyear Tracker Mud Runner needs to be mounted on a bead lock wheel. This model is able to securely perform on off-road terrain surfaces, especially in an aired down state. When off-road tires are aired down, they can easily slip off the rim, which can lead to accidents. To prevent this, such tires have to be mounted on a bead lock wheel to ensure a safer driving experience.

Mud Terrain Traction

Off-road ATV tires increase their traction on versatile terrain surface conditions. Generally such tires perform well on soft, loose and uneven terrains, but they are not DOT approved for highway use.

The Tracker Mud Runner is one such tire. This model utilizes its high void ratio and angled directional lug placement to boost the soft, loose and uneven terrain gripping ability. This enables the tire to improve the number of biting edges gripping the road surface on various off-road terrain surface conditions. This combination enables the tire to boost the model’s performing safety on various terrain surface conditions. This results in the model’s ideal surface grip throughout the drive, guaranteeing a safer mud terrain traction.

Damage Resistance

During a tire’s off-road performance, it can easily get damaged. Various off-road terrain surface conditions can harm the tire and its casing, shortening its service life. To prevent this, manufacturers utilize different technologies to reinforce the tire against the driving pressure affecting the model.

The Tracker Mud Runner features a strengthened internal structure and an optimal self-cleaning tread pattern to prevent damage. The stronger construction maintains the ideal tire shape under the load and driving pressure affecting the model while the tires are in motion, increasing the driving safety levels throughout the drive. As the tire does not deform under the pressure, it enables the model to carry and withstand heavy loads with ease, further improving the year round performing capability.

On the other hand, the self-cleaning tread design protects the tire from off-road damage. The directional lug placement and the high void ratio eliminate mud and snow and eject rocks stuck between the tread elements to protect the tire. Mud and snow block the tire’s surface contact, which will lead to the tire losing its traction. Stones can drill into the tire’s tread area, causing stone retention, which harms the model’s casing, shortening its usability.

Enhanced Controllability and Handling

Off-road ATV tires are harder to control as their overall handling is not as precise as that of passenger vehicles. However, manufacturers strive to create tires which can securely perform at all times, while providing the tire’s excellent driving experience.

The directional lug placement of the Tracker Mud Runner enables the model to closely follow the off-road terrain surface during its performance. This significantly improves the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The better terrain contact enables the tire to boost the steering response time and accuracy to the driver’s commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. As a result, the tire boosts the driver’s full control over the vehicle during its performance to ensure a safer driving experience.
