The symmetric tread design boosts the All Country AT2's traction on diverse terrain surfaces. The large staggered tread blocks generate additional biting edges to improve the all terrain grip and secure forward motion on soft, loose, and uneven surfaces. The off-road performance is further enhanced, thanks to the scalloped shoulders. As such, the tire optimizes its soft dirt and deep muddy terrain grip.

Better all terrain performance is enabled by the footprint's ability to clean itself. The Ironman All Country AT2's aggressive tread design features a moderate void ratio and open shoulders, allowing the model to efficiently eject rocks, mud, and snow stuck between the tread blocks. In this manner, mud, rocks, and snow don't cut off the tire's surface contact, maximizing the All Country AT2's off-road grip.

The tire also secures optimal on-road traction. The Ironman All Country AT2 uses its staggered blocks to maintain close road contact in different weather conditions. The ideal road-to-rubber ratio enhances the tire's dry weather grip while the siping details create additional biting edges to upgrade its performance in light winter weather. The tire remains pliable in warm and winter conditions, due to powerful compound elements that keep the rubber flexible in warm and cold temperatures.

The specific footprint design grants the Ironman All Country AT2 the ability to lower the possibility of a dangerous road hazard known as hydroplaning. When water and slush accumulate on the road, they can block the tire's road contact, which results in the loss of control. The model prevents this by draining water and slush from beneath the footprint, improving wet-weather driving safety levels. All these elements enable the tire to boost its all season performance.

Better surface contact is provided with this tire, increasing its controllability. The All Country AT2's particular tread pattern upgrades the steering responsiveness. In other words, the tire is fast and accurate when responding to the driver's steering demands. The constant terrain contact also protects the model's structural integrity, which optimizes its driving stability. The footprint's consistent contact with the driving surface gives the driver total control over the vehicle.

Besides great handling, this Ironman tire also enhances its maneuvering capabilities. The versatile shoulder blocks generate extra biting edges with their siping details, improving the tire's cornering. Maneuvering is further increased with the special block design and the constant surface contact. As a result, the tire increases driving safety levels.

Off-road tires are typically noisy. Their detailed tread patterns and higher void ratios contribute to the creation of sound waves, leading to lowered comfort levels. However, not all off-road models are the same, as all terrain tires can feature a unique technology that makes them quiet on the road. Is the Ironman All Country AT2 one such tire?

Yes, the All Country AT2 provides great on-road comfort due to its special tread design. The model channels airwaves through the footprint, preventing their interaction with the tread elements. This means the tire doesn't generate sound waves when performing on the road, promoting a quiet driving experience in which the passengers can enjoy.
