Designed for year-round traction in mixed loose terrain, the YKY tread design is created to enable excellent braking, acceleration, and cornering for aggressive riders on various surfaces.

Longitudinal side lugs aid traction in soft conditions and allow the tire to hold a corner in soft sand and snow without washing out. The tread block size was designed to keep weight down while still offering substantial bite into the trail surface, and features a studdable design with 250 stud pockets for excellent winter traction in icy conditions.
