The existence of the all-season tire BFGoodrich Urban Terrain T/A is due to the North American manufacturer's desire to expand the target audience of its tire products at the expense of crossover owners, who operate mainly within the city limits. In addition, when developing this model, the preferences of European motorists were taken into account, which was reflected in some design features, which will be discussed below.
Reinforced carcass construction
A number of technical solutions were borrowed from models designed for real off-road vehicles. We are talking about a carcass that has increased resistance to impact. It is provided by the presence of additional layers in its design. Similarly, the breaker was strengthened, which gave the tire excellent reliability and increased its service life. In addition, it is impossible not to mention another advantage provided by the carcass construction, resistant to external influences. This is the improved handling and predictable behavior of the car in any situation.
Universality of application
This model is equipped with a tread pattern, the design of which provides it with good performance even outside roads with a solid surface. It is ensured by the multitude of gripping edges formed by both the tread blocks and the lamellae cut through its entire depth. The significant distance between the tread elements allows the tire not to "get clogged" when moving on dirt roads. In turn, the multitude of lamellae provides it with grip on slippery roads from snow, ice, and rain.
Long service life
Although this tire has an asymmetric tread pattern, its design is largely dictated by the need to provide the tire with durability and reduced fuel consumption. The shapes, sizes, and arrangement of the tread blocks are chosen in such a way as to make the distribution of external load on the contact patch as uniform as possible, and to reduce rolling resistance.
