33% stronger sidewall

If you drive a 4×4 you will be pleased to know that BFGoodrich has launched the second generation of its celebrated off-road tyre, the Mud Terrain T/AKM2. This new tyre replaces the Mud Terrain T/AKM and is the market leader in the off-road category vehicle market.

Robustness was the top priority when the engineers built this one and they have produced a tyre capable of overcoming harsh, uneven, muddy and rocky surfaces. Three technologies have been incorporated into the T/AKM2 – aggressive sidewall lugs, cut and chip-resistant sidewall compounds and stronger sidewall cords. All three of these have been tried and tested already on one of the most successful tyres in off-road racing, the BFGoodrich Krawler TEK.

The side wall cords of the BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/AKM2 are up to 33% stronger than the previous tyre. The TriGard 3-ply casing has much stronger cords and this significantly improves sidewall damage resistance. The thick lugs on the shoulders of the tyre also provide superior grip and enhanced protection. Use of the new cut and chip-resistant rubber compound ensures the risk of tearing your tyre is much reduced.

The new tyres will be available in 16 sizes in 15-inch, 16-inch and 17-inches, diameters from 215 to 305mm and 85 to 70 series aspect ratios and with a Q speed symbol. The M+S marking on the sidewall of the tyre will also indicate the tyre has been approved for usage in mud or snow. 4×4 car leasing is available off the site now including BMW X5, Volvo XC90 and Audi Q7.
