The aggressive, open-shoulder pattern with the staggered tread blocks and the high void ratio improve the soft, loose and uneven terrain traction. These tread elements the tire is able to optimize the forward motion at all times, increasing the deep mud and loose terrain performance. The tread design also keeps the footprint clean at all times. They tread elements effectively disperse mud and snow from the footprint, preventing them from blocking the surface contact. On the other hand, rocks cannot lodge between the tread elements and drill into the casing, preventing stone retention from harming the tire.
