Pro Comp Xtreme MT2 Tires


As truck drivers, we know we are hard on the trucks.  However, we are also hard on the tires.  The tires are essential for us to be able to both work and play in our trucks though.  Because of this, we need to get tires that will be compatible with the driving conditions as well as everything else that we will put them through.

Pro Comp is well aware of this and as a matter of fact, they have been making the types of tires that we need since 1998.  Even though they make all types of tires that will work for nearly any application, today we will focus only on one type. 

The type we are focusing on today is the Xtreme MT2.  This is a radial tire that was designed with full size trucks and SUVs in mind.  More specifically, those that spend time both on and off the trails.  Whether you will be hauling heavier loads than you normally haul or even if you are just playing on the trails, this is the tire that will give you the traction that you need as well as the durability that will get you where you need to go.

The tread design for these tires is one that is open.  It was created and then optimized with the use of computer technology as well as computer modeling.  This particular design gives you a grip as well as a control that will allow you to keep the road noise down while being unsurpassed in terms of traction.  In addition to that, the tread pattern in designed to be self-cleaning in both the mud and the snow.  As far as a tread wear warranty goes, the Xtreme MT2 comes with one that is good for 40,000 miles. 

While the Xtreme MT2 does come in a wide variety of sizes, there are features that will be the same for all sizes.  These include a sidewall that is totally black.  In addition, they have a load rating of E with a max capacity of 3,415 pounds.  The tread depth is 5/8 of an inch.  That said, the diameter of the tire will vary with the size. 

Upon deciding that this is the tire you need, take a minute to take a quick peek at some of the other Pro Comp products.  New tires are always set off nicely with a new set of wheels.  Pro Cop makes basically 3 varied types of wheels.  These are Metal Mulisha, steel and alloy.  Each of those types can be broken down further by their various styles and sizes.  They also come in a variety of finishes that will be a true compliment to any tires.
