All-Terrain Sports 70% Road & Sand, 30% Dirt & Mud The LTZ is a hybrid between a sports truck tyre and an all-terrain tyre. With extra high load ratings, each steel belt strand has 33% more steel, increasing the load carrying capacity over standard tyres in the equivalent size. Improved Wear and Wet Handling The tapered tread feature puts deep tread in the centre and slightly shallower tread in the shoulders to improve wear and wet handling while reducing weight. Crisp Handling The high modulus rubber compound above the bead minimises sidewall flex in cornering resulting in crisp handling. Higher Load Ratings All LTZ's are manufactured with higher XL load ratings. The tyre has extra strength from extra reinforcements built into the tyre mainly in the shoulder area. This is designed to minimise tyre deflection and reduce potential damage due to road impacts.
