The large tread elements, high void ratio, staggered shoulder lug placement and optimal sidewall pattern work together to improve the soft, loose and uneven terrain surface traction. They find firm grip in deep mud and loose dirt and the sidewall pattern ensures its forward motion and improves its high flotation capability. The high void ratio and staggered tread blocks disperse mud from between the tread elements to maintain a constantly clean footprint and the tire's year round traction.
