Predator New Mutant X-AT tyre launched in Australia

Predator Tyres has arrived in Australia with its versatile New Mutant X-AT, an all-terrain tyre that is said to be comfortable, quiet and practical on the highway, yet equally surefooted on weekend wilderness explorations.

You may not have heard of Predator Tyres, but you’ve most likely heard of ROH Wheels, one of Australia’s leading wheel brands with a long history in both the OEM and aftermarket, dating all the way back to 1946. And it’s actually the ROH team who are now distributing Predator Tyres into the Australian market as part of an exciting new project.

Given ROH’s strong reputation in the wheel industry built over many years, the team took their time to find the right high-quality tyres to suit what the Australian market desires. This involved stringent testing of noise, control, wet performance, dry performance, off-road capability and highway driving, across multiple tyre brands, before they settled on Predator Tyres.

As ROH Wheels is known for being one of the toughest, highest quality wheels around, the ROH Team were determined to find tyres that match this same level of quality and performance its wheels have become known for. Predator Tyres also backs the performance and longevity of its tyres, offering an 80,000km Tread Life Guarantee on the New Mutant X-AT range.

The tyre is built with a reinforced structure and a robust compound, making it exceptionally resistant to damage. Key to this is an aggressive “SPIKE” X-AT dual sidewall design, which increases off-road traction, bolsters sidewall protection and provides an aesthetic option for enthusiasts. As a result, the tyre maintains its optimal shape under pressure and is resistant to cuts, impacts, punctures and tearing.

Dubbed an “all-season” compound, the tyres can adapt to temperature fluctuations, and this is complemented by a finely detailed tread which features dense siping and numerous biting edges. Staggered shoulder lugs provide an enhanced biting edge and improve traction on rocky terrain.

The aggressive tread pattern features tread blocks strategically staggered and irregularly shaped, which forms a network of zigzagging grooves which can efficiently get rid of mud, dirt, snow and other debris and maintain a clean footprint for consistent grip and handling.

These deep, multi-functional tread grooves enhance traction on a wide variety of road surfaces and also help to prevent hydroplaning. An advanced “X” tread pattern and pitch variation also reduces road noise, for a smoother highway ride. The tyre also features a wider contact patch thanks to densely packed tread blocks, delivering additional handling stability for both on- and off-road driving.

The performance tyre – available to suit 16-, 17- and 18-inch wheels – balances performance and safety, making the Predator New Mutant X-AT tyre a serious option to consider for remote-area tourers.
