The stronger structure and the detailed tread pattern work together to enable the tire's soft, loose and uneven terrain and on-road traction. The tread pattern's self-cleaning capability maintains constant terrain contact by eliminating mud and snow from the tread elements. This, along with the upper sidewall lugs, enhances the tire's forward motion on all terrain conditions, even when driving through deep mud and loose dirt. The stronger off-road gripping ability ensures a secure year round performance.
