WHY THIS TIRE?

Rugged directional tread design helps boost snow and ice traction and helps reduce heel/toe wear typically associated with open shoulder designs.

Full-width zigzag sipes interlock to enhance block stability under torque while helping to provide extra bite, especially in deep snow.

Deep V-shaped lateral shoulder grooves help to maximize mud and snow evacuation.

Extra-robust four-belt crown package with extra-wide working plies help deliver exceptional casing life.

Full-width elastic protector ply and extra-thick rubber under the tread help protect the working plies from shocks, bruises and impacts.
