Produced by the world-renowned North American manufacturer, this lightweight all-terrain tire is designed for SUVs, pickups, and light trucks.
The symmetrical non-directional tread design of the tire is characterized by a high density of elements. In the central part of the tread, there are three rows of separate trapezoidal blocks, replete with many sharp edges. Thanks to the clever layout and configuration of the blocks, the tire has a large contact area, which allows the tire to demonstrate excellent grip on hard surfaces, including rocky off-road and public roads. In addition, due to the high density of the placement of the blocks, it was possible to achieve low rolling resistance, as well as a more uniform distribution of the load over the contact patch, which had a positive effect on the strength and wears resistance of the tire as a whole. It should also be noted that the pitch of all elements of the tread pattern is uneven, due to which the tire has a low noise level, thereby making the ride more comfortable.
Thanks to the two-stage design of the blocks located in the shoulder areas of the tread, it was possible, on the one hand, to further increase the tire-to-surface contact area, and on the other, to further enhance the protection of the tire sidewalls vulnerable to various damages.
Another distinctive feature of the Interco VorTrac LT tire is the presence of several transverse S-shaped sipes on each tread element, which, according to the manufacturer, are designed to provide excellent traction on wet, snowy, and icy surfaces. In addition, to ensure a more confident, stable, and safe behavior in adverse weather conditions, all blocks are placed at the most optimal distance from each other to ensure high efficiency of water, mud, snow, and various foreign objects from the tire contact patch.
About company

- At first, the main activity of the company was the retail sale of car tires.
- It first established itself as a tire manufacturer only in 1968, when it launched the first model of its tires for pickup trucks and light trucks. Thus, he founded the 78 series of tires.
- Is the only privately-owned company in the tire industry with wholly-owned shares.
- Holds a leading position in the development and production of tires for pickups and SUVs not only in the United States but also in the world.
- In addition, Interco produces a whole series of tires for extreme moto and jeepers, as well as for various agricultural machinery.
- The imprint of the Super Swamper tread pattern can be found not only on off-road tracks all over the world but also on T-shirts and T-shirts of fans and professionals of many famous off-road athletes. This drawing has become an unspoken symbol among extreme car enthusiasts all over the planet.

The exterior design of this tire should be given credit. He's pretty aggressive.

- low noise level and softness when driving is ensured by the placement of tread elements with an uneven pitch;
- high density of tread elements, due to which the external load is more evenly distributed over the contact patch, which increases the strength and wears resistance of the tire;
- the two-stage structure of the shoulder blocks provides additional protection of the tire sidewalls from damage.
