SimpleTire’s view on BlackHawk BAM99 tires

A versatile commercial tire like the BlackHawk BAM99 with a 4-belt package and a strong rubber compound is built to withstand tremendous abuse, both on- and off-road. During the Blackhawk BAM99 tire review, we noticed no problems with wet traction due to wide, zigzag grooves within the tread. For the tread to last long, you can expect high tread depth and solid shoulders, the latter resisting uneven wear. A high ply rating of 20 means it will be able to carry very heavy loads. The presence of a special casing prevents the tire from losing shape while being subjected to large weights.
