The all-season Mastercraft Courser STR tire is designed for SUVs, crossovers, and pickup trucks. A key feature of the model is that it, although it belongs to the High Terrain category, has much better traction properties off-road than most of its analogs.
Universal tread pattern
The effectiveness of the tread on different types of surfaces is ensured by the fact that it is divided into several functional zones and contains elements that improve several operational properties at once. In particular, the shoulder blocks are connected by narrow rigid bridges, which, without impairing their effectiveness on dirt roads, improve traction and handling when maneuvering on asphalt.
The tread also features two rows of individually standing blocks. Their complex polygonal shape provides the tire with traction properties on surfaces with reduced carrying capacity, and the sloping arrangement reduces rolling resistance and noise, improves directional stability, enhancing the effect of the central solid longitudinal rib.
Confident behavior on slippery surfaces
A distinctive feature of the tire is its confident behavior on slippery surfaces, including compacted snow. It is provided by the presence of a large number of narrow slits - lamellas. When contacting the road, they form a multitude of sharp edges, the traction properties of which are significantly enhanced due to the curved shape of these tread elements.
