Traction on All Surfaces and weather Conditions- All terrain tires perform well both on and off paved roads. These types of tires are a hybrid of a more aggressive tread design for dirt and gravel, blended with rubber compounds that allow for long tread-life and good handling on paved roads. They have reinforced sidewalls for more protection from rocks and other off-road hazards, while still providing a comfortable ride and good all-season traction on wet and snow-covered roads.
