This light truck and SUV tire features a wide center pattern rib for excellent steering response on wet or dry surfaces, with wide pattern blocks at the shoulder and four main longitudinal grooves for excellent drainage. The narrow grooves on the MaxTrac A/T improve traction and provide excellent braking performance and steering response in wet, dry or wintry conditions. Saffiro uses advanced pattern noise analysis for a computer-tuned design of pattern and pitch for minimized noise levels.
