SummitClaw Terrain Tire

The SummitClaw Terrain Tire was specifically designed for mountain terrain driving, where steep grades, loose rocks, shifting scree, and unpredictable surface conditions demand a tire with superior grip in all directions. The claw-shaped tread blocks give this tire its name, featuring sharp lateral edges that provide aggressive lateral traction for traversing steep hillsides without sliding, as well as strong longitudinal traction for climbing and descending mountain grades. The offset lug pattern ensures constant traction by always maintaining multiple lugs in firm contact with the ground, preventing the slip-and-grab behavior common in lesser tires on steep terrain. SummitClaw’s tri-ply carcass handles the structural demands of sustained off-road use including rock impacts, lateral loading on hillsides, and the stresses of airing down and back up multiple times per day. The internal belt system uses a combination of steel and high-tenacity nylon for a balance of stiffness and flexibility suited to mountain terrain. A special cut-resistant tread compound significantly reduces the likelihood of tread damage from sharp mountain rocks. Mud and snow rated, the SummitClaw also provides reliable traction in early and late-season mountain conditions when snow and ice can appear unexpectedly on high-altitude trails throughout the season.
