This is made possible as the large lugs, the high void ratio and the grooves in the tread blocks increase the self-cleaning nature of the tread. They clean out mud and snow and eject rocks stuck between the tread elements. This prevents the tire's tread area from being blocked from its contact with the road surface. The better road contact allows the tire to increase its performing capability, while the stone ejectors prevent stone retention that can cause harm to the model's casing. The cleaner footprint guarantees an upgraded performance.
