How to Choose Tires
With an interlocking tread design and a higher void ratio, this type of tread tends to provide better traction than the milder tire in Photo 1, except in sand. Deep shoulder blocks help on the trail, but because of the interlocking design and the relative lack of siping, it takes more weight, or less tire, to make this tread work. Although the tread is nonrepetitive to keep noise down, this tire will not run as smoothly (vibration-free) on the highway, and it’ll wear faster. Counteracting wear are the great load transitional characteristics of the tread.
