The staggered tread elements, wide grooves and open shoulder pattern upgrade the soft, loose and uneven terrain traction, while they also ensure a safer on-road drive. The staggered tread elements also manage to maintain a clean footprint. They eliminate mud and snow and eject rocks stuck between the tread elements. In this manner, the tread prevents the footprint from being blocked from its contact with the tread elements, while also actively resisting stone retention from harming the tire's casing.
