The treads are organized to minimize damage and wear to the tires, extending the tread life to over 40,000 miles.
As an R/T tire, The Trailtek offers extra traction while also promising a quieter ride. The tread features a double block shoulder design which enhances noise reduction and braking ability.
The Trailtek R/T’s ladder step tread block increases stability and also contains built-in wear indicators that denote how much tire life is remaining (100%, 75%, 50%, 25%). Built-in stone and mud ejectors also help keep the tires clear of debris.
