The wider footprint and the five-rib pattern enhance the tire's road grip on soft, loose and uneven terrain surfaces. The staggered tread blocks find grip on all off-road surfaces, while the tire's sidewall pattern enhances the tire's forward motion and traction in deep mud and loose dirt. These staggered tread blocks, along with the wide grooves and open shoulders, keep the footprint clean of mud, snow and rocks. As a result, the tire's footprint is never blocked from its contact with the road surface, while it also prevents stone retention, which may harm the tire's casing.
