Let’s take a closer look and break down what the Tru-Trac line is all about, tire by tire:

Armstrong Tru-Trac

Backed by a 65,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty, the Tru-Trac SU features a shoulder bottom base and blocks that prevent block wriggling and tire deformation. While the specially engineered cross-linked sipes on the inner ribs reduce rolling resistance its wide footprint puts more rubber on the road, improving wet grip and stability. In addition, its stiff sidewalls absorb impacts on uneven roads improving ride comfort.

Armstrong Tru-Trac SU Flex

The Armstrong Tru-Trac SU Flex is an all-weather tire that combines the best of summer and winter performances. While its specially engineered tread profile resists irregular wear and enhances longevity, its asymmetrical tread pattern with optimal winter and summer sipes offers year-round traction. Its multiple biting edges on the inner grooves improve performance in difficult situations, while dense sipes on the outside and inner tread increase traction and steering response. With a long limited warranty of 50,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty, the Armstrong Tru-Trac SU Flex is an ideal choice for CUVs and SUVs like the Audi Q5, Chrysler Pacifica, Dodge Grand Caravan, Chevrolet Captiva, Honda CR-V, and Ford Bronco.

Armstrong Tru-Trac HT

The Armstrong Tru-Trac HT is a highway-terrain tire that offers greater towing ability, increased traction, reduced rolling resistance, and a quiet drive for light trucks and SUVs. It has a specially engineered tread design that provides greater towing ability and a noise-blocking bar on the tire shoulders that prevents premature wear and reduces road noise. While the Tru-Trac HT’s continuous open lateral channels improve tire grip in slick conditions, its curved tread design boosts rigidity and lowers rolling resistance. Backed by a 65,000 mile limited tread life warranty, the Tru-Trac HT is designed to provide great performance for heavy-duty towing and hauling.

The robust housing improves high-speed stability and steering response in demanding conditions, while bridges between the shoulder blocks prevent erratic wear and reduce block wiggling.
