The Mud-Terrain T/A KM is designed to deliver aggressive good looks along with serious off-road traction and steering control on slick surfaces, as well as in deep dirt and mud. It features an advanced tread compound molded into a symmetric tread pattern comprised of large interlocking center tread blocks and alternating width "DiggerLugz" that extend over the tire's shoulders. This produces the clawing necessary to dig down deep, as well as work against the sides of muddy ruts for added pulling power.

This tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts on top of a TriGard (3-ply polyester cord sidewall plies) construction for strength and durability. A single strand of bead wire is continuously wrapped multiple times until the desired strength is provided. This enhances the tire's fit to the wheel and improves uniformity and ride quality. Rim protectors molded into the lower sidewall help shelter the tire and wheel from off-road hazards, especially during aired down situations.
