Review of
the Pro Comp Xterrain
The Procomp Xterrain is a radial MT (mud terrain)
tire that offers a 3 ply sidewall which is said to be thicker and more puncture resistant
that some other popular radial tires on the market. The Pro Comp Xterrain's main feature is an
aggressive, deep, wide void tread design that uses a
directional, staggered pattern that is made to
channel mud and debris out and away from the center of
the tire. The tread of the Xterrains uses what
Procomp refers to as the XTC or Extreme Traction
Compound. This compound is said to allow maximum
puncture and tear resistance while maintaining the
flexibility and stability necessary when running at low
air pressures. The sideways are designed to be
extra durable utilizing up to 3 plys of polyester, while
the tread uses 1 ply of nylon, 2 steel and 3 plys of
polyester. The Procomp Xterrain's large lateral
lugs get traction assistance from sipes that run the
through every lug, helping it to get traction on-road as
well as offroad. One drawback of the tread design
is that is configured in a directional pattern that gets
better traction in one direction over the other. So when
you install the Xterrain, install them so that the tread
will channel mud out from center and away from the tire
patch. Over rocky terrain the two layers of opposed-angle steel belting
spanning the tread area maximizes puncture resistance
while allowing the tread to flex under lower air pressure to maximize traction in
rock gardens. 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 Xterrain's aggressive
look and performance to match. Sizes range from 31x10.50R-15
up to a 40x13.50R20.

Incredible
tire! I have 18,000 miles
on them that includes
daily highway driving and
off roading of all sorts
at The Badlands in
Indiana. It does unusually
well on the road for such
an aggressive tire. I have
no doubt Ill get another
30,000 miles out of them
easily.

I had the
37x13.5 Xterrains on my
Super Duty. They
wore fast with a heavy
truck and mixed
highway/off road use. As
for being a
"mud" tire, NOT
so much. I had to use
heavy throttle to clean
the tire of mud. Colorado
trails ate my sidewall up
on the first outing! Good
in the snow with lower psi.
Good on street performance
with siping. Fairly quiet.
KEEP YOUR TRUCK ALIGNED
GOOD, They will wear out
quick if you don't!
Thinking of getting some
33's or 35's for my Jeep
Xj...

Great tire
for variety of off road
conditions I run on a half
ton truck and chose them
because I wanted a tire that
could handle Mud but also
would be good in the sand. I
purchased after reading an
article about these tires
down in Baja.
Only down side is they seem
to be wearing fast on the
heavier truck but if you off
road in a variety of
conditions get them. |

I have a
set of 33x12.50 on my Jeep
TJ. I love the tire on
everything except ice and
packed snow, but I have
heard that siping takes care
the tires problems in winter
conditions. The tire does
exceptionally well on rock
and loose dirt/gravel. If
you don't get into thick
gumbo mud, the tires also do
very well in muddy
situations. As for the
directional pattern, it has
not been a problem for me,
even when backing up through
some pretty thick mud. In
conclusion, the Xterrains
grip, durability, and on
road performance makes this
a great tire for the trail
rig or the daily driver and
I will probably by another
set when these wear-out (a
set of 35's next time). The
only thing that bothers me
about the tire is it seems
smaller when compared to
other tires of the same
printed size, but it is not
bad enough to validate not
purchasing the tires. Great
tire!

I would
llike to run these tires
again for my next set.
Unfortunately tire life has
seen most of its service
life just after 30,000kms.
Soft rubber compound, great
for grips not for longevity.
If it could only last
another 20,000kms...
