TractiveGroove Technology boosts traction in deep mud and snow, making this tire a hard-worker both on- and off-road for multi-purpose full-sized pickups, vans and SUVs. Self-cleaning shoulder blocks enhance grip in loose dirt and gravel. Yet road noise is reduced by highly angled center tread blocks, which also provide lateral stability. Wheels are protected against accidental curb damage by a special rim protector. The Wrangler DuraTrac has the Mountain Snowflake Symbol which designates outstanding winter traction in severe conditions.
