All-Terrain Tire for Light Trucks, SUVs, and Crossovers

Core Gard Technology incorporates several innovative features designed to enhance the durability and performance of tires across various challenging terrains.

One key aspect is the Tougher Sidewall Rubber, which is Split & Bruise Resistant. This rubber compound is directly derived from Goodrich's proven Baja T/AKR2 tire used in racing, ensuring exceptional resilience against sidewall damage.

Moreover, the Core Gard Technology includes Thicker, Extended Shoulder Rubber. By increasing the rubber thickness and extending it down the sidewall, more of the critical sidewall failure zone is protected. This enhancement significantly reduces the risk of punctures and cuts in demanding off-road conditions.

The Advanced Deflection Design is another integral component of Core Gard Technology. This design utilizes computer prediction to deflect protruding objects away from the tire, preventing them from snagging and causing sidewall splits. This feature enhances the overall durability and longevity of the tire in rugged environments.

To further optimize performance, specially formulated Tread Rubber is blended to reduce chipping and tearing, thereby improving gravel road endurance. The Advanced Tire Footprint Shape ensures stress is evenly distributed, promoting longer and more uniform tread wear over the life of the tire.

Interlocking Tread Design enhances stability by securing tread blocks, which promotes even wear during extended usage. Stone Ejectors are incorporated to prevent stone retention and facilitate efficient tread cleanout, guarding against stone drilling and maintaining optimal traction.

For enhanced traction in diverse conditions, Upper Sidewall Traction Bars protrude from the sidewall rubber blocks, providing increased grip on mud, snow, and rocks, particularly useful in low-pressure driving scenarios. Mud-Phobic Bars in the shoulder tread area release compacted mud, enhancing traction in muddy and soft soil conditions.

The Serrated Shoulder Design features staggered blocks that improve maneuverability in soft soil and deep snow, ensuring reliable performance in challenging terrains. Locking 3-D Sipes utilize active snipe technology to increase biting edges, significantly boosting snow traction and handling.

Finally, the 3 Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol certifies that these tires exceed the Rubber Manufacturer Association's severe snow traction requirements, ensuring confidence and safety in winter driving conditions.

In conclusion, Core Gard Technology integrates advanced materials and designs to deliver superior durability, traction, and performance across a wide range of terrains and weather conditions. Whether navigating rocky trails or snowy roads, these tires are engineered to meet the demands of off-road enthusiasts and professionals alike.
