The tread pattern's high void ratio, the large scalloped shoulder blocks and the shoulder lugs ensure excellent off-road traction, especially on muddy terrains. The tire is capable of conquering all loose and soft surfaces, such as mud, sand, dirt or gravel paths with ease. The tread's self-cleaning nature prevents mud from blocking the tire's road contact and avoids stone retention. The shoulder lugs get rid of the mud and the small stone-ejecting ribs located in the grooves eject rocks stuck between the tread elements. This maintains the tire's constant road contact and ensures a safer drive.
