OVERVIEW: The Trac-Gard N686 is an all terrain off-road tire manufactured for ATVs.The tire promotes excellent all weather and all terrain traction. The tread pattern finds good grip in all weather and the high void ratio avoids hydroplaning. The large voids and V-shaped tread block design finds good traction on soft, loose and uneven road surfaces. The tread voids also prevent mud, snow and rocks from being stuck between the tread elements, which avoids stone retention and boosts the road contact and traction. The tread pattern extends over the tire's shoulders and down to the sidewalls, which further increases the soft and loose terrain performance.The tread pattern increases the model's controllability. On soft, loose and uneven terrain the tire maintains contact with the road surface which improves its steering responsiveness and driving stability. The stabilized tire structure and the quick and precise steering responsiveness to the driver's instructions increase the model's performing capability and handling. The exceptional all terrain traction allows the tire to perform to its best capabilities in all weather and road surface conditions.The N686 is extremely durable. The tire compound is resistant to punctures and other damages, such as cuts, chipping and abrasion, which extends the tire's usability and life. Its internal structure allows the tire to carry and withstand heavy loads, without deformation of its shape.
