    Destination M/T off-road tires feature a square footprint and more rubber between the bottom of the skid and steel belts than competitive tires, says the company. A high void helps clear debris from the tread. No-tread siping provides cut resistance and long wear, and a 40-pitch-length design around the tire helps minimize noise. For off-road traction, an over-the-shoulder tread/lug design helps pull the vehicle through mud and ruts.
