Shaped like a pyramid, they cut into the soil with a sharp, cleaving action. Mud falls from them freely because the space between the bars is wider at the shoulders than near the center of the tread. The bar connections brace and strengthen the tread and give the tires a powerful “center bite” in the very heart of the traction zone. The tires roll smoothly because the curved, connected bars are in continuous contact with the highway.
