IROK Bias and Radial Mud Terrain Tire
The IROK is another of Interco Corporations exceptional Mud Terrain tires that incorporates the highly successful TSL (TSL = Three Stage Lug) design. Major features of the IROK include exceptionally wide, deep voids in its outer lugs which also have a scooped design that help the IROK excel in mud as well as give it excellent grip on rocks. Its patented TSL design has a modified leading and trailing edge to its staggered center lugs that give it extra grip in whatever the terrain throws at it. When you take a closer look at the center lugs, you'll notice a "stepped" design that is similar to Interco's other tires like the Super Swamper SSRs. This stepped design offers better release of mud and snow that might otherwise clog the voids in other MT tires. The center and outer lugs are siped to improve grip not just on the road but also on the rocks. Their unique tread design extends down onto the sidewalls in a staggered stepped design that offers protection and aids in the traction. The IROK's tread composition is a softer yet extremely durable compound that offers spiderman traction offroad especially on the rocks but the softer compound results in a higher wear rate on the paved road. Street manners are not bad if you don't mind some higher speed vibrations due to the large voids. Radial designs will perform better on-road. Rotation of the tires helps them the wear more evenly and keeps the noise to a tolerable level. The IROK comes in both Bias ply and Radial ply in a wide variety of sizes in 6, 8, 10 ply model dependant and are reasonably priced when compared to other Mud Terrain tires.
