The Trail Country is Dick Cepek’s On-/Off-Road All-Terrain light truck tire for pickup, SUV and jeep drivers looking to combine off-road capabilities with on-road control. Designed to tackle tough terrain, the Trail Country also provides year-round versatility, including traction in snow.
Trail Country tires feature a silica-enhanced compound molded into a 5-rib symmetric tread design. Buttressed shoulders provide an aggressive look and increase off-road traction. Dick Cepek’s ramp-lock design ties intermediate tread elements together in pairs to help reduce stone retention by pushing gravel towards the circumferential grooves for release. Multi-faceted tread blocks, wide circumferential grooves and zigzag sipes promote a soft surface and snow traction.
The internal structure of Trail Country tires feature twin steel belts reinforced with spirally wrapped nylon on top of a two-ply polyester casing to combine strength, durability and ride comfort.
