But the magic happens with the ultra-aggressive tread pattern that is deep, angled, and grooved so you get exceptional traction that grabs whatever is in front of it. And since the lugs aren't spread too far apart, they work perfectly with the radial construction to smooth out your ride and maximize the tire's contact patch. Tie all of the features together and you see how ITP has made the Mud Lite XTR to love sloppy terrain.
