The self-cleaning tread pattern, with the stone ejecting ribs in the grooves, helps resist stone retention. The tread does not allow rocks to get stuck between the tread elements and it ejects them from the footprint before they can drill into the tread area and harm the casing. The tire's strengthened steel belt structure, on the other hand, protects the tire from off-road damage. Harsher terrains can easily damage tires by causing defects. The steel belt structure guards the tire against punctures, cuts and impact damage, greatly improving the overall driving safety levels.
