Summit Trail Climber RT 285/45R22 114Q XL r/t Rugged Terrain Tire

Summit Trail Climber RT

OVERVIEW

The Summit Trail Climber RT is a rugged terrain, all weather tire made for light trucks and SUVs. Summit offers a 45,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.

The optimized tread design boosts the tire's surface contact, which improves the overall controllability. The tread design manages to maintain surface contact throughout the drive. In this manner, the tire greatly improves controllability, by boosting steering responsiveness and driving stability. This allows the tire to be quicker and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the tire during the performance. The better handling guarantees the driver's control over the vehicle.

Reinforced manufacturing elements greatly enhance durability and damage resistance. This tire is able to withstand larger loads, not deforming during its performance. This is achieved with the strengthened internal casing, boosting its load-handling power. On the other hand, the tread design and the compound also work with the casing to resist damage. Punctures, cuts, and impact damage are avoided, while the tire's tread area is also guarded. As damage is prevented, the tire promotes a lengthened service life.

This model provides great all weather traction. The tread pattern and the compound keep the tire's excellent dry, wet, and winter-weather road grip. The wide grooves actively resist hydroplaning, by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint, which also enhances the wet-weather performance. This compound maintains its flexibility in colder temperatures, making it suitable even for winter driving.

The aggressive tread pattern and the strong rubber compound improve rugged terrain traction. The design utilizes staggered blocks and a high void ratio to enhance soft, loose, and uneven terrain grip. These elements ensure the tire's consistent forward motion at all times. Deep mud and loose dirt terrain grip are guaranteed in this manner. This pattern also helps to enhance its self-cleaning capability. Mud and snow do not block surface contact, further optimizing its optimal off-road performance.

The tire's tread area and compound blend boost its usability. The ideal tread pattern and the rubber compound resist irregular and premature wear formations along the tread area. This tread ensures even pressure circulation, in order to prevent irregular wear formations, while the rubber compound slows the treadwear rate down. This decreased and even wear leads to the tire's longer-lasting tread life.

All weather tires receive the three mountain peak and snowflake (3PMS) symbol for their exceptional winter weather performance. They are all season tires with extra winter weather grip, in order to guarantee safer year-round durability. This ensures their true and secure driving ability throughout the year.

Not all tire sizes are suitable for all vehicle types. Please refer to the item specifications for accurate information about vehicle type fitment for this particular size.

Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
