FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• All terrain traction
• All weather traction
• Enhanced controllability
• Longer lasting tread life

OVERVIEW

The Dean Tires Back Country SQ-4 All Terrain is an all terrain, all season tire manufactured for SUVs and light trucks. Dean Tires offers a 55,000 mile treadwear warranty for the light trucks sizes, and a 60,000 mile treadwear warranty with the SUV sizes of this model.

The model promotes excellent all weather traction. The durable all weather compound and the detailed tread design boost the dry, wet and winter weather surface grip both on- and off-road. The tread design enhances the grip on the road and terrain surface with extra biting edges, while the compound keeps the rubber flexibility throughout the drive. The tread's groove placement increases the hydroplaning resistance by dispersing water and slush from below the footprint. This combination enabled the tire to receive the three mountain peak and snowflake symbol designating its harsh winter weather performing capability.

The tread design also increases the all terrain performance. The large footprint's staggered block placement, detailed siping pattern, wide grooves and open shoulder design work together to ensure the tire's secure on- and off-road terrain surface grip. This enables the tire to securely perform both on-road and on soft, loose and uneven terrain surface conditions. These tread elements enhance the grip on the terrain surface, guaranteeing the tire's forward motion even in deep mud or on loose dirt. This combination ensures the model's exceptional off-road performing safety. The tread design also keeps a clean footprint. The staggered tread blocks eliminate mud and snow stuck between the tread elements. This prevents mud and snow from blocking the surface contact, while it actively resists stone retention from harming the casing. As a result, the tire ensures a safer off-road terrain surface drive.

The tire's optimal flat footprint increases its controllability. The flat footprint maintains a close road and terrain surface contact throughout the drive, which upgrades the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In this manner, 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. This combination enhances the driver's control over the vehicle, increasing the driving safety levels on versatile terrain surface conditions.

The Back Country SQ-4 All Terrain promotes a longer lasting tread life. The model's reinforced compound and optimal tread pattern design work together to extend its usability. The wear-resistant rubber materials of the durable compound decrease the tread wear rate, while the tread design improves the even pressure distribution along the tread area. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking avoids irregular wear formations along the tread area. In this manner, the tire manages to lengthen the service life significantly.
