Dick Cepek Tires & Wheels showed the new Extreme Country mud terrain tyre – which will be available May 2015 in 21 sizes ranging from 15- to 20-inch wheel diameters – at this week’s SEMA Show/Global Tire Expo.
Designed with a proven tread compound and larger surface area for excellent traction, long tread life, responsive handling and a quieter ride, the Extreme Country’s tread features special chamfers and notched inner and outer lugs for lug stability and responsive “bite” on irregular surfaces, according to the company.
The sidewall is reinforced with two-ply high-tensile body cord for sidewall strength without increasing weight or rolling resistance, Dick Cepek said, adding that wide outer tread voids and self-cleaning angled shoulder scallops provide better traction in mud and loose soil, while specially-designed stone ejector tread grooves prevent stone retention.
