Transamerica Updates Its X/T Tire Option
Transamerica Tire Co. Ltd. is launching the Terra Hunter X/T 2 from Venom Power Tires, the latest creation in its dual-purpose all-terrain tire line. It's designed for drivers who expect performance both on and off the beaten path.
“The Terra Hunter X/T 2 was developed with direct input from enthusiasts who put our first-generation tire to the test in every condition imaginable,” says Joe Davis, sales director at Venom Power Tires. “This new version refines what drivers loved — versatility and durability — while delivering sharper handling, superior braking, and true four-season performance.”
The Terra Hunter X/T 2 offers:
- Improved comfort, performance and noise control. The tire's new compound along with an optimized tread pattern provide "a smoother, quieter ride without sacrificing grip, handling or longevity."
- Enhanced braking and safey. The tire is engineered for confident performance in all weather conditions, and offers shorter stopping distances, as well as traction on dry, wet and wintry roads.
- Superior handling with stronger shoulder blocks. The tire's reinforced shoulder block construction helps to support cornering as well as off-road maneuverability.
- Improved wet performance. A decrease in void ratio results in better road contact and traction on slippery surfaces and during heavy rainstorms.
- Winter capability. The 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake certification — even in larger sizes — promises reliable performance in difficult winter weather conditions.
- Unified shoulder and sidewall. The seamless and reinforced design, which was inspired by enthusiasts' feedback, adds up to a durable, stable tire that can evenly disperse stress in extreme conditions.
Transamerica Tire says the Venom Power Terra Hunter X/T 2 is designed for drivers who want a blend of comfort, safety and all-terrain capabilities no matter what kind of surface is underfoot. The tire is available in a wide spectum of sizes, fitting wheel diameters from 15 inches to 22 inches. Among the new sizes is a 35X10.50R17, designed specifically for moderately lifted mid-size pickups and SUVs.
