Narrow grooves result in greater contact patch leading to better grip on road. X3 gives superior performance on road than its competitor due to its lower void ratio. Massive grooves along with central sipes on blocks can resist hydroplaning well, yet this property cannot compensate for decreased contact patch and overall on road traction still remains lesser in competition. Minimal contact patch minimizes on road grip of tread leading to poor traction on road.
GENERAL GRABBER X3 TREAD LIFE PRO
On-Road Traction ComparisonĬooper Pro performs lesser on road in comparison owing to its broader channels among tread blocks. X3 has a superior stone ejection capacity, numerous bold stone ejectors are located in lateral as well as central grooves which toss off disturbing hard fragments of gravel and prevent tread from choking and punctures. Shoulders are strengthened and alternatively scooped offering smooth handling as the vehicle steers along. On the other side, smaller grooves minimize off road traction over muddy or snowy surfaces as mud, snow or slush is not efficiently thrown backwards while rolling ahead. Tread grips on road firmly as more of its area is in-contact with the road. Its void ratio is lower when compared with its competitor, giving it the benefit of increased on road traction. Tread design of X3 exhibits characteristic qualities like relatively narrow grooves, raised blocks, deep siping, scooped shoulders, aggressive sidewall lugs and prominent stone ejectors. Bumpy stone ejectors are located in shoulder grooves which keep troublesome stones, pebbles and rock particles away and resist stone clogging of tread. Alternate scooping of large shoulder lugs optimizes off road traction further as tread can bite rough surfaces deeply and have more evacuation space available. However, these massive grooves give outclass traction on rough off road surfaces as they possess a remarkable ability to evacuate mud, snow and slush out from the tread. Relatively high void ratio leads to lesser contact patch resulting in poor traction on road as the tread cannot grip properly on paved surface. Cooper STT Pro has an aggressive tread design with large deep grooves, bold elevated lugs with central siping and stone ejectors embossed in shoulder grooves.
