This tire features large ground-biting lugs that provide excellent traction with siped tread blocks that allow for better water spin-off. The tighter tread pattern translates to a more comfortable and quiet highway drive. The six- to ten-ply rating provides tough, thick sidewalls with chip- and cut-resistant compound.

The available sizes are as follows: 255/85R16, 265/75R16, 285/75R16, 31x10.50R15, 33x12.50R15, 34x12.50R15, 35x12.50R15, 33x12.50R16, 34x12.50R16, 35x12.50R16, 33x12.50R16.5, 35x12.50R16.5, and 33x12.50R17.



A good all-around performance tire at home on either the street or trail, the STS offers good traction and is excellent in the snow, sand, and on the rocks.

The available sizes are as follows: 31x10.5R15, 31x12.5R15, 33x12.50R15, 35x12.50R15, 37x13.50R15, 305/70R16, 315/75R16, 325/80R16, 37x13.50R16, 35x12.50R17, 37x13.50R17, and 40x13.50R20.



Weighing in at only 36 pounds, the Pull-Pal is recommended for all vehicles that travel off-road. Designed to work in most types of terrain (including sand, hardpan soil, and even snow), it can be used to extract your vehicle without the use of another rig and to serve as an anchoring point from the rear when winching another vehicle out of harm's way. When not in use, the Pull-Pal folds compactly to the size of an ordinary bumper jack for easy storage. Ruggedly constructed with a forged chrome-moly plow assembly and assembled with Grade-8 bolts for strength and quality, this unit will get you unstuck in no time. Also available for heavy-duty vehicle applications.

The Off Road A/T is engineered for the 4x4 enthusiast. Up to 19 inches of ground clearance is possible using 35x12.50-15 tires, and a 2-inch drop axle comes standard. An optional lift kit and a 4-inch drop axle make room for tires up to 37 inches in diameter. A variety of rack systems is available. The Tentrax Off Road A/T can also be personalized to match your vehicle's paint and wheels. Options for off-road use include the Off Road Package, which allows for trouble-free articulation in rough terrain. For extreme 4x4 use, the skidplate and nerf bars are recommended.
