Armstrong Desert Dog MT. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Mud terrain traction; Damage resistance; Heavy-duty controllability; Longer lasting tread life; . OVERVIEW: The Armstrong Desert Dog MT is a mud terrain, all season tire manufactured for light trucks.The tire promotes excellent mud terrain performance with the aggressive tread design. The staggered, zigzag block pattern, high void ratio, and detailed sidewall pattern upgrade the soft, loose, and uneven terrain traction. This enables the tire to greatly improve its performing capability throughout the performance, increasing the deep mud and loose terrain surface grip. The tread elements disperse mud and snow stuck between the tread elements, preventing them from blocking the surface contact. The combination of these elements greatly enhances the model's off-road terrain performing capability.The self-cleaning nature of the tread and the reinforced sidewall plies boost the tire's damage resistance. The tread elements feature zigzag stone ejectors which eliminate rocks stuck in the footprint. As a result, they cannot drill into the tread area and cause stone retention. The sidewall structure and the detailed sidewall design work together to prevent external damage. They avoid punctures, cuts, and impact damage from shortening the tire's overall service life.Controllability is also improved with the tread design. The stabilized block placement enables the tire to increase the surface contact while the tires are in motion. This significantly boosts the tire's steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while the structural stability is also maintained at all times. The strengthened structure and the optimal pressure circulation help keep the ideal tire shape under pressure. This significantly upgrades the tire's ability to carry and withstand heavy loads with ease, resulting in the tire's secure heavy-duty performance.The Desert Dog MT increases the length of the usability. The special compound and the stabilized tread elements allow the tire to enhance the service life. The stronger compound utilizes wear-resistant elements in order to decrease the treadwear rate. The stability of the footprint ensures even pressure circulation, greatly avoiding irregular wear as well. The slow and even wear boosts the tire's overall tread life.The intended purpose of Mud Terrain tire types is off-road use. They are not designed for regular highway driving.Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
