Review of
the Pro Comp Mud Terrain Tire
The Procomp Mud Terrain Tire is a moderately
aggressive "Mud Terrain Tire with several ProComp
specific design features that give it an edge over
competing brand tires of similar design. On
feature ProComp boasts about is the Twin Rib Center
"Traction Zone", which consists of interlocking, open,
aggressive twin high void lugs and the 90-degree
checked siping pattern. The combined features,
while not revolutionary, do help to increases and
maximizes wet weather traction and bite on rocks and
hard surfaces.
The Pro Comp Mud Terrain Tires has an alternating
high void, three lug shoulder with a large, aggressive
open grip spur, for increased traction and
self-cleaning. Shoulder corner lugs extend
up the sideway and incorporate a deep notched traction
bar that helps traction and adds protection on rocks
and in mud. The shoulder lugs are pre-drilled
for studs for driving in the snow and ice, thus the
hole seen on the out lugs.
Two layers of opposed-angle steel belting spans the
tread area for maximum puncture resistance. The
opposed angle steel allows the tread to flex under
lower air pressure to maximize traction in rock, mud
and sand.
Procomp's DualGuardâ„¢ Sidewall Compound Tread
allows the tire to wear longer due to cooler running.
The sidewall rubber is designed tougher for resisting
scrapes and cuts.
Polyester Body Plies - Thick, 2-ply polyester
construction combined with a blend of dual sidewall
rubber allows maximum puncture resistance with total
flexibility when using lower air pressure off-road
without excessive heat build-up. Three ply
construction provides less flex and more heat than 2-
ply.
On road the tread has been designed to be
considerably quieter than you would expect from a Mud
Terrain tire making it an idea radial mud tire for a
daily driver. We like the Procomp Mud Terrain
tire and appriciate it's moderate aggressive
look and performance to match. Sizes range from
30/9.50R15
up to a 35/12.50R17.
