The Wrangler MT/R with KevlarŪ (MT/R -
Maximum Traction/Reinforced) is Goodyear's Off-Road Maximum Traction
tire developed for light truck driving enthusiasts who take off-road
traction seriously. The Wrangler MT/R with Kevlar is designed to
increase tire toughness when it conquers mud, crawls over rocks and
explores trails.
The Wrangler MT/R with Kevlar features a silica rubber tread
compound molded into an asymmetric tread design that combines
off-road traction with on-road handling and wet traction. Goodyear's
advanced mud-flow geometry tread design enhances self-cleaning
capabilities while shoulder blocks (which alternate being stepped in
and out) and a wraparound tread design on the upper sidewall
increase traction in mud, sand, ruts and rocks. The tire's internal
structure features twin steel belts and is Goodyear's first off-road
tire to incorporate Dupont Kevlar, an innovative material that's,
pound for pound, five times stronger than steel. The use of Kevlar
sidewall reinforcement brings enhanced cut and puncture resistance
to an area of the tire that demands extra toughness when driving
off-road (increasing sidewall cut and puncture resistance by about
35% compared to the original Wrangler MT/R). The Kevlar also helps
stabilize the sidewalls when drivers return to the pavement for the
ride home. |
