Winter's ice- and snow-covered highways may require more traction than the typical All-Season tires used on light trucks provide. The Wintermaster Plus steel belted radial was specially designed to match the needs of light duty pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles that were originally equipped with P-metric sized tires.
The Wintermaster Plus steel belted radial is designed with an intricate pattern of independent tread blocks which enhance traction and promotes water drainage. Deep lateral grooves and siping help provide traction in snow and through slush, and extra traction for hard-packed snow and ice can be provided through the addition of studs.
Wintermaster Plus steel belted radials meet the industry's severe snow service requirements however, not all sizes are branded with the snowflake-on-the-mountain symbol.
Vehicles should always be equipped with equivalent tires at all wheel positions. These winter tires, due to their exceptional snow and ice traction when studded must be used in sets of four to help ensure proper vehicle control.
