The tire's traction on soft and loose surfaces is improved with the scalloped shoulders and the aggressive upper sidewall. This enables better forward motion during off-road performance. The wide grooves and the open shoulders clear mud, snow, and rocks from the footprint, further improving off-road grip.

It makes the tire stronger, allowing it to keep its best shape. In other words, flexing is prevented thanks to optimized pressure circulation along the tread's circumference. This averts pressure build-up on sensitive tread areas. The internal reinforcements also enhance the sidewalls. As a result, the tire is able to easily withstand greater loads without deforming.

The big broader blocks put more rubber area on the surface. This works well with their arrangement to ensure continual surface contact. The sipes and blocks give additional biting edges for a stronger grip on snowy surfaces.

They are not designed for regular highway driving.
