Despite the presence of the MT abbreviation in its name, the Goodyear Wrangler MT/R with Kevlar all-season tire for off-road vehicles stands out for its good performance not only on earthy terrain but also on asphalt highways. The versatility of its application is ensured by the use of a number of original technologies in its design. And not all of them were developed at Goodyear.
Reinforced sidewall construction
One such borrowing is Kevlar, which reinforces the tire's sidewalls. This material, developed by DuPont, consists of special synthetic fibers that have higher mechanical strength than steel. It is this feature that provides the sidewalls of this model with resistance to aggressive external influences.
Optimized off-road shoulder areas
The MT abbreviation in the name of this model stands for Mud Terrain. Its high performance on earthy terrain is ensured by the excellent efficiency of the shoulder area design of the tread. Each of them consists of a series of double blocks spaced at a significant distance from each other. On the one hand, this provides a contact patch with very high and long transverse edges of adhesion, and on the other hand, it does not allow the tread to become clogged with dirt.
Key features of Goodyear Wrangler MT/R with Kevlar
- Kevlar-reinforced sidewalls are characterized by increased resistance to any aggressive influence;
- the open design of the shoulder areas improves passability on earthy and sandy soils even with high moisture content;
- good performance on the highway is ensured by the optimized design of the central part of the tread and a rubber compound with a high silica content.
