The Tusk EMEX T-45 is an intermediate/hard terrain tire designed to provide great traction for packed surface conditions and will transition well to a wide range of surfaces and terrains with its aggressively deep and wide center lugs. Strategically placed knob surface sipes and knob groove offer additional bite for traction and consistency. Reinforcing bridges connect each side knob to add strength at the base of the knob, reducing flex and offering flex control characteristics for added tire performance and longevity. The open, self-cleaning tread pattern and large contact patch add excellent traction characteristics while giving the tire a consistent and reliable feel in intermediate/hard terrain. Tube-type tire. For maximum off-road performance, the Tusk EMEX T-45 is non-DOT compliant.
