It offers outstanding dry, wet, and winter traction in on- and off-road conditions as well. The manufacturer made sure to cover the whole tread with sipes. This is why all center- and shoulder blocks are laterally siped, guaranteeing a firm grip on a range of terrain surfaces. The compound adapts to the changing weather conditions, ensuring consistent traction on dry, wet, and snow-covered roads. The zigzag circumferential and lateral grooves channel water, slush, mud, rocks, and snow away from the footprint, keeping it clean.

This way, the tire can demonstrate outstanding on- and off-road driving capabilities. By promoting versatile usability, it can conquer even some of the most challenging off-road terrains. The tread elements prevent side-slipping and ensure a short braking distance for better driving safety. The high void ratio boosts the tire's ability to eliminate rocks from the footprint. Therefore, they can't drill into the casing, which would cause serious damage.

The tread elements are arranged in a way to maximize the tire's contact patch. The load and driving pressure is evenly distributed between the tread blocks, which enhances the tire's stability. With better stability comes better controllability, which means that the tire always responds promptly and precisely to the driver's commands. The RD-5 A/T offers seamless control while its structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the tread.
