TrXus STS All Terrain Tire Reviews

Review of the Interco TrXus® STS All Terrain Tire
The TrXus STS All Terrain tire is one of the more interesting looking All terrain tires on the market. Similar looking in design to the Super Swamper Bogger with its 3 stage lug design of lateral lugs running from sidewall to sidewall. Working off of proven, patented designs of Intercos other tires, the TrXus STS All Terrain uses design features such as a 3 stage lug design, a three stage lug sidewall (STS), a stepped lug design enhancing the release of debris from the tread, incorporated sipes in the large lateral lugs, and deep grooved pattern designed to channel mud, sand and water out from the tread. Contrary to its appearance The TrXus STS is not a Mud Terrain tire and in fact does not perform all that well in mud or snow for that matter with its tight tread design. Rocks are also not this All Terrain tire's best terrain for the same "tight tread" reasons. One of the strong points of this tire is sand where it gets excellent floatation and decent forward bite from its Bogger-like paddles. On the street this tire has some minor noise but not an excessive amount as to be expected for an All Terrain tire. The TrXus STS is available in both Radial and Bias Ply with sizes ranging from 29" up to 38" with plys ranging 6 or 8 in the Radials and 6 or 10 in the Bias plys, model dependent.

Manufacturers description of this tire:

TrXus STS - All Terrain
The TrXus STS, the STS stands for Three Stage Sidewall, is a new concept in all terrain tires. These tires are not intended to be a substitute for the Super Swamper or Bogger tires but a tire for you if you spend a lot of time on the street. Besides working so well on the street it has good off road performance and excels in snow and sand. It is also very much at home in the rocks and will impress anyone with its all around performance. This tire is going to set a new standard in the all terrain category.

Available in Bias and Radial

I ran this tire on a truck I had some years back. Here in NM, I play in the sand a lot, had a lot of fun with them and they did pretty well. I also hit my share of rocks where they did good. Once we got hit by a harsh rain storm and I got stuck on some mud so I had an opportunity to get them muddy which was a rare event for me. Overall I like the tire.

This is a pretty good tire if you spend most of your time on road. i bought them to hold me over before i bought a lift, and they were tolerable in most circumstances. they are terrible in mud, though, because they can't clean themselves very well. if you're looking for a good, cheap, snow tire that you can leave on all summer without worrying about loss in gas mileage or an increase in road noise, they're a good choice.
