The staggered tread elements optimize the tire's surface contact and increase the soft, loose and uneven terrain grip. As a result, the tire can easily conquer such terrains, without being stuck in deeper mud and on loose surface conditions. The tread design keeps a clean footprint. The stepped tread block pattern eliminates mud and snow and ejects rocks stuck between the tread elements. In this manner, the tire maintains its surface contact as mud and snow cannot pack into the grooves and cut off its contact with the terrain. It actively prevents stone retention as well by ejecting rocks before they can drill into the casing and harm the tire. As a result, the tire promotes a secure off-road, all terrain performance.
