235/85R16LT 120/116Q Terramax ARV A/T Arivo

The 235/85R16LT 120/116Q Terramax ARV A/T by Arivo is a robust all-terrain (A/T) tyre designed for light trucks, SUVs, and off-road vehicles. This tyre offers exceptional durability, traction, and load-carrying capacity, making it ideal for off-road adventures as well as heavy-duty tasks, such as towing and hauling.

Tyre Size and Parameters:

• 235: The 235 millimetres represents the width of the tyre’s tread from sidewall to sidewall. A tyre width of 235 mm provides a balanced contact patch that improves both on-road and off-road traction, while maintaining vehicle stability.
• 85: The aspect ratio of 85 means that the sidewall height is 85% of the tyre’s width (235 mm). A higher aspect ratio contributes to a taller sidewall, which provides better ride comfort and helps absorb impacts from rough or uneven terrain, making it ideal for off-road environments.
• R: The R stands for radial construction, which is the most common tyre construction type. Radial tyres are made with internal layers arranged radially from the centre, offering greater flexibility, improved handling, and better ride quality, especially when driving on rugged or off-road terrains.
• 16: The tyre is designed to fit a 16-inch diameter wheel. This is a popular size for light trucks and off-road vehicles.
• LT: The LT (Light Truck) designation indicates that this tyre is specially designed for light trucks, SUVs, and off-road vehicles. It can handle higher load capacities and more demanding conditions compared to regular passenger tyres.
• 120/116: The load index of 120/116 means that the tyre can carry a maximum load of 1400 kg per tyre (load index 120) when used in a single configuration. In a dual configuration (typically used on dual-axle vehicles), the tyre can support up to 1250 kg per tyre (load index 116). This high load capacity makes it ideal for heavy-duty vehicles or those that require enhanced load-bearing performance.
• Q: The speed rating of Q indicates that the tyre is rated for a maximum speed of 160 km/h (99 mph). While this is not a high-performance speed rating, it is sufficient for most off-road and light truck applications, where high-speed driving is not typically a priority.

Key Features:

1. All-Terrain Capability: The Terramax ARV A/T is designed for all-terrain driving, providing excellent traction on a wide range of surfaces, including mud, dirt, sand, gravel, and snow. The tyre’s tread design is aggressive enough to handle off-road challenges while still providing decent on-road comfort.
2. Heavy Load Capacity: With a load index of 120/116, the tyre can carry 1400 kg in a single configuration and 1250 kg in dual configuration. This makes it a perfect option for light trucks, work vehicles, and off-road SUVs that require higher load-bearing capacity for heavy hauling, towing, or carrying equipment.
3. Durable Construction: The tyre is built to withstand rough off-road conditions, featuring reinforced sidewalls and robust materials that offer resistance to cuts, punctures, and abrasions from rocks, debris, and other obstacles commonly encountered off-road.
4. Comfortable On-Road Performance: While designed for off-road use, the Terramax ARV A/T provides a smooth and comfortable ride on paved roads. Its tread design minimizes road noise and vibration, ensuring a quieter ride compared to more aggressive off-road tyres.
5. Improved Traction: The aggressive tread blocks and wide grooves of the Terramax ARV A/T tyre ensure superior traction on slippery and loose surfaces like mud and snow. The deep voids between the tread blocks help to evacuate water and debris efficiently, reducing the risk of hydroplaning on wet roads.
6. Sidewall Protection: The reinforced sidewalls help to prevent damage from rocks, curbs, and other obstacles encountered during off-road driving. This added protection makes the tyre less prone to cuts, punctures, and abrasions, extending its lifespan in rugged environments.
7. All-Weather Performance: This tyre offers reliable performance in various weather conditions, including wet roads and light snow. The tread pattern is designed to provide good traction in both dry and wet conditions, enhancing safety during all-season driving.
8. Off-Road Stability: The tread design and sidewall reinforcement help maintain stability and control when driving over challenging terrains. The tyre is engineered to handle uneven surfaces, sharp turns, and changes in terrain, offering improved off-road performance and confidence.
