Atturo Trail Blade X/T. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Extreme terrain traction; All season traction; Enhanced controllability; Improved damage resistance; . OVERVIEW: The Atturo Trail Blade X/T is an extreme terrain, all season tire manufactured for SUVs and light trucks. Atturo offers a 45,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.The tire promotes exceptional all weather traction. The large tread elements manage to firmly grip the road surface in dry, wet and winter weather conditions. The wide grooves manage to prevent hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from below the tire's footprint. These grooves, along with the staggered tread blocks, disperse mud and snow from between the tread elements. During on and off-road performing, the tires ensure a safer driving experience as they maintain the first-rate road gripping ability and actively resist hydroplaning situations.The model's tread design is a hybrid between all terrain and mud terrain tires. In other words, tread elements that ensure the excellent performance of those models were incorporated into the design of this tread pattern. The tire features open shoulders, large tread grooves, upper sidewall tread and evenly placed tread blocks to ensure superb on and off-road performance. The tire is capable of easily conquering all soft, loose and uneven terrains. The tread elements disperse mud and eject rocks stuck in the tire's footprint. This ensures remarkable traction, while also preventing stone retention which can harm the tire's casing.The center area's tread block sequence maintains their contact with the tread elements at all times. They increase the steering responsiveness and driving stability both on and off-road. In this manner, the steering is faster and more responsive to the driver's instructions, while the tire's structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting it during the drive. The shoulder tread blocks manage to boost the cornering ability and power with additional biting edges. The constant road contact promotes a safer driving experience and allows the model to perform to its best capability.The Trail Blade X/T's sidewall is designed in such a manner that it protects the rims from accidental curb and other off-road damage. The tread design of the upper sidewall on the other hand prevents off-road damage from harming the tires. The tire's light truck sizes feature a three-ply reinforcement in their internal structure. This prevents them from deforming under the driving pressure affecting it and ensures a safer performance both on and off-road.Extreme Terrain tire types are not designed for regular highway driving. They are primarily designed for off-road applications. 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.
