The tire footprint features staggered and stepped tread blocks, a high void ratio, open shoulder design and a detailer upper sidewall design which work together to enhance the tire's grip on the road surface. These tread elements ensure the tire's forward motion on soft, loose and uneven terrain surface conditions, without allowing the tire to get stuck on such terrains. The staggered blocks and high void ratio also keep the footprint clean of mud and snow. They eliminate mud and snow stuck between the tread elements, preventing them from blocking the tire's surface contact. In this manner, the tire optimizes its surface grip throughout the drive.
