Used as original equipment on pickups and sport utility vehicles, the all-season Open Country A20a is designed for competent all-season traction and a smooth ride on the highway. The symmetric tread pattern and independent shoulder blocks provide optimum wet and dry traction, while the tire's wide footprint adds stability and improved handling at higher speeds. Four circumferential grooves around the tread increase wet handling performance and lower the risk of hydroplaning. The tire is designed to provide traction and comfort in light snow, featuring a steel belted construction for additional strength and durability.
