Features and Benefits

Staggered tread elements, a tough compound, and sipes enable the Terrena M/T to provide traction on dry, wet, and wintry surfaces. This mud-terrain tire can run on loose and soft terrain without side slips due to the biting edges from the sipes. During our Centara Terrena M/T tire review, we found the following features and benefits:

• Protection from damage: A strong rubber compound and the black sidewall protect this tire from damage when on rough, uneven terrain.
• Good performance: Wide shoulder blocks ensure more rubber on the road for better performance, leading to an average handling SimpleScore of 7.8.
• Great traction: Several characteristics such as staggered tread elements, wide shoulders, high tread depth, and sipes boost traction performance and allow the tire to achieve a 7.6 SimpleScore rating in this area.
• High load-carrying capacity: A ply rating of 10 is most useful for those who carry heavy loads in their trucks, especially those who have jobs in the woods, and for the heavy vehicles themselves.
• Removing debris: To make the most of muddy, sandy, and similar terrain, the tread design has self-cleaning properties to ensure that is freed of debris.
• High strength and durability: Reinforced steel belts provide the strength necessary for carrying huge loads and a longer tread life.

Traction appears to be the strongest area for this tire, allowing us to give it a high Centara Terrena M/T rating.
