Building suspension systems that were tough enough to
last longer than anything on or off the road was the purpose for Pro Comp when
they first got their start in 1992. They
didn’t waste their time chasing the latest trends – which at the time were
hydraulics and sky scrapers. Instead,
they focused on making the suspension systems that would handle the off road
better than anything else. This was a sound
strategy and one that paid off with the off road gearheads. Now, people who want real off road cred and
who want to save their ride quality eagerly await the newest innovations from
the Pro Comp line.
Pro Comp maintains this reputation because they combine
the best engineering team with state of the art technology and the best
materials in the world. The engineers of
the suspension systems and the wheels and tires don’t just make the designs and
prototypes of these items, they actually test them both on and off the roads
themselves.
In 1998 Pro Cop began making tires and in 2002 they added
wheels to the line. Today we are going
to talk about one of the tires in the Pro Comp line of products.
Radial
Xtreme A/T
As you probably guessed, these are radial all terrain
tires. Now, if you had the choice of
tackling off road trails or traffic, chances are that you would be off road in
a heartbeat. Unfortunately, the real
world calls and most of us find that we have a need to be at work most of the
time. When you are looking for a tire
that can feel great on the highway while having the ability to tear up the
trails, this one by Pro Comp will see you through.
This tire has been built in such a way that it can take
the stress of the highway while conquering the most demanding trails. The Xtreme A/T radial tire has a tread
pattern that is super aggressive and has been optimized to be able to have a
great grip no matter what the terrain is.
There is also a sidewall traction that features an X pattern. The traction blocks in this pattern dig into
wet pavement, sand or dirt. For those who
need massive traction at high speeds, the shoulder lugs on this tire are
absolutely massive. The tire also
features not one but two steel belts as well as a nylon overwrap that is spiral
wound. In addition, the sidewalls and
Tri-Ply and as such are great at resisting things like popping, abrasions and
punctures.
These tires come in a vas assortment of sizes so that
they will fit almost any rig. They also
come with a 50,000 mile limited warranty for tread wear.
