ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to off-road tires, more specifically off-road tires for use with all-terrain vehicles, agricultural equipment, and construction equipment. A plurality of elongated pads are interposed between circumferentially adjacent lugs, preventing damage to the tire's inner tread without impeding the soil shedding characteristics of the tire's soil discharge channels. The width of the puncture prevention pads may vary to compensate for the greater spacing between circumferentially adjacent lugs at the shoulder region of the tire.
