Patriot A/T

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• All weather traction
• Enhanced controllability
• All Terrain traction
• Longer tread life

OVERVIEW

The Patriot A/T is an all terrain, all season tire manufactured for SUVs and light trucks.

The special optimized tread pattern increases the model's all terrain performance. It features staggered tread blocks, wide grooves and an open shoulder pattern that find good grip on soft, loose and uneven terrains and it ensures excellent on-road performance. The tread also manages to keep the footprint clean. It eliminates water and slush and ejects rocks stuck between the tread elements. In this manner, it promotes a clean footprint and constant road contact and actively resists stone retentions, which can harm the tire's casing. The tread elements' firm grip on the terrain and road surface and the clean footprint guarantee a safer all terrain driving experience.

The model offers first-rate all weather traction. The tread design features an irregular siping detail, which improves the all weather performance. It, along with the all season compound that maintains its flexibility even in colder temperatures, promotes exceptional dry, wet and winter weather traction. While on-road driving, the wide circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning as they disperse water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The enhanced hydroplaning resistance and secure all weather traction improve the model's year round performance.

The maintained road contact of the tread elements increases the tire's controllability. The shoulder tread block placement and the stronger rib and block pattern work together to boost the steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting it, while the steering becomes faster and more precise in its responsiveness to the driver's commands. The shoulder tread block placement, with the siping detail, heightens the number of biting edges that firmly grips the road surface during cornering to guarantee a secure maneuvering capability.

The A/T provides a longer tread life. The tread design's improved road contact evenly distributes the driving pressure along the tread area. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking actively resist irregular wear formations across the tire's surface. The prevention of uneven tread wear offers a lengthened tread life and tire usability.
