ABSTRACT:
An all terrain vehicle tire has an improved tread including primary lugs arranged in sets equally spaced around the periphery of the tire on each side of the tire centerline with each set including a long lug and a short lug, with the sets on opposite sides of the centerline being offset substantially one half the pitch of the lug sets. At least the long lugs include an elongated central body portion extending at a first acute angle with respect to the centerplane and each of the primary lugs including an inner end directed at a second smaller acute angle relative to the centerplane and an outer end extending over and onto the shoulder of the tire at an obtuse angle with respect to the centerplane. A plurality of secondary lugs in the form of tapered knobs may be located between each of the primary lugs of each set with at least one secondary lug between each adjacent pair of primary lugs being located on the shoulder portion of the tire.
