Master Lieutenant. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Upgraded load durability; Mud terrain traction; Enhanced controllability; . OVERVIEW: The Master Lieutenant is a mud terrain, all season tire manufactured for ATVs and UTVs.This model was designed with lightweight construction, which optimizes the tire's performance. This structure features bias plies, which are designed for exceptional load durability and driving stability. Bias-ply tires are created for heavy-duty applications, as they prevent the tire from deforming under pressure. As a result, the structure significantly boosts the tire's load-handling capability.The tread design features staggered blocks arranged in a zigzag pattern from one shoulder to the other. They work with the void ratio in order to upgrade the tire's off-road terrain traction. In this manner, the tire manages to increase soft, loose, and uneven terrain performance, providing the necessary number of biting edges to grip the surface. The void ratio avoids stone retention and keeps the footprint clean. This is due to these elements not being able to pack between the tread blocks, which further boosts the off-road terrain driving safety.The Master Lieutenant also uses its directional tread design to upgrade its controllability. As a result, the tire manages to boost its steering responsiveness and driving stability. Therefore, the consistent surface contact provides a quick and precise steering response, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure. This allows the driver to securely control the vehicle on versatile terrain surfaces. This specific tire model features a BIASED ply construction. When it comes to ATV tires, there might be slight visual differences between brands and models even if the tires are of the same size. NOT FOR HIGHWAY USE: This tire model is not DOT-approved for highway use. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
