All the tread elements work together to maintain a firm grip on soft and loose terrain surfaces, even in deeper mud and sand. The tread design features a high void ratio, large, independent tread blocks, stone ejectors and side-biters. They keep the tire's road grip at all times, which further upgrades the tire's off-road performance. The special side-biters are located on the upper sidewall and they, along with the variable shoulder tread block edges, improve the traction and road grip on deep and loose terrain surfaces.
