Featuring Firestone's Uni-T technology, the Transforce HT includes circumferential grooves that help to channel and redirect excess water, preventing slipping and sliding in wet conditions. Continuous shoulder ribs contribute to the durability and tread life of the tire, while an advanced High Modulus tread compound helps to prevent premature wear including rips, tears and punctures. In addition, this model includes Firestone's 5-degree noise reduction technology to reduce noise levels on rougher terrain.
