Americus Rugged MT Mud Terrain LT285/70R17 121/118Q XL Light Truck Tire

The Rugged M/T upgrades the soft and loose terrain gripping capability with the optimized tread design. The large, staggered tread blocks and the high void ratio work together to increase the grip on mud terrain surface conditions. These tread elements increase the driving safety by ensuring the tire’s grip even when driving through deep mud and loose dirt. In such cases, the tread elements provide sideways biting edges that prevent the tire from being stuck. Better traction ensures a safer driving experience in various conditions.

The tread design and durable tire compound also improve the all-weather performance. They work together to enhance the dry, wet, and winter weather performance. The compound keeps its rubber flexibility in different temperatures, while the tread elements improve the grip in all weather. In this manner, the tire guarantees a safer performing capability.

Off-road tires must have ideal tread designs that keep their footprint clean at all times. While driving on soft and loose terrain surfaces, the tread design picks up rocks and mud that can either damage the tire or cut its surface contact off. To prevent this, manufacturers design mud terrain tires with self-cleaning tread patterns that keep the tire’s footprint clean during their performance.

The self-cleaning tread design of the Americus Rugged M/T consists of specialized tread elements. The tread’s large, staggered tread blocks, high void ratio, open shoulder design, and stone ejecting ribs maintain a clean footprint. They eliminate mud and snow and eject rocks stuck between the tread elements while the tires are in motion. This actively prevents mud and snow from blocking the tire from its contact with the terrain surface, while it avoids stone retention as it prevents rocks from drilling into the casing and harming the tire.

The optimized tread design with the enlarged tread elements ensures a safer performing capability on off-road terrain surfaces, which increases driving safety significantly.
