 Review of
the Pro Comp Xtreme All TerrainWhile Pro Comp is
fairly new to the offroad tire Market, the company has
been making a name for itself in the quality of offroad
tires that they have been developing for the offroad
enthusiast. The Xtreme All Terrain is a high
quality example of one of Pro Comp's serious off-road
tires. While the Xtreme All Terrain is just that,
an All Terrain Tire, it is one of the better All
Terrains on the market with many quality features
putting it near the top of the AT class, balancing
on-road handling with offroad capability.
Highlights include 3-ply polyester construction, opposed
angle steel belts, steel beads, a spiral nylon overwrap
and what they call a bead flipper.
The mildly aggressive tread design offers decent
traction in most off-road applications, including
moderate performance in mud and snow to great
performance in sand, dirt, and rock while offering the
owner a quality ride on the street.
On the rocks the Pro Comp Xtreme All Terrain Tires
rely on their three-ply polyester construction,
multi-layered sidewall reinforcement and advanced rubber
compounds for exceptional traction especially at lower
air pressures where an aired down tire will wrap well
and conform around the rocks. The moderately
aggressive tread design with a generous amount of sipes
in the tire lugs provide a good grip over rough, rocky
terrain.
In Sand the the Pro Comp Xtreme All Terrain offers
good flotation over sand as well as adequate forward and
reverse traction.
Mud is not the Pro Comp Xtreme All Terrain's strong
point. As an All Terrain tire, there is a
compromise and mud is inevitably the downside of any AT
tire. Similar to most AT tires traction is only
moderate as the tires tend to clog with mud and require
moderate to heavy wheel spin to eject the mud from the
voids in the tires. However this perspective is
from what MT tires are capable of and as a true AT tire
the Pro Comp Xtreme All Terrain is among the better of
the AT tires within it's class.
On the street the directional all terrain tread
pattern works well in wet weather for improved
traction. A generous amount of sipes in the lugs
enhances on-road handling and wet weather traction
while the Pro Comp Xtreme A/T's computer generated tread
pattern generates minimal road noise for a quiet ride.
As one of the better AT tires on the market, the Pro
Comp Xtreme All Terrain is equally suited for pavement
as well as dirt. Pro Comp tires are made with
advanced rubber compounds, steel, and polyester cords
and the result is a well-balanced offroad AT tire that
offer excellent ride quality, handling and best-in-class
traction. A good choice for occasional offroader
who needs a good weekend tire for the trails and a
decent onroad tire for the commute with great longevity
with even wear. The Pro Comp Xtreme All
Terrain comes with a 40,000 Mile Warranty and is
available in a wide variety of sizes.
