MTD October 2014 P-metric light truck tires be introducing a new P-metric LT tire in the frst quarter of 2015. Called the Travia H/T, it will initially have 10 P-metric sizes in 15- to 17-inch rim diameters along with 10 LT sizes. It is a highway terrain tire designed for a smooth, quiet ride and exceptional performance in wet conditions. With a 600 AA UTQG rating, we believe the tire will ofer an extraordinary value to consumers looking to save money by stepping down from the Tier Two brands. Conversely, dealers will be able to price position this tire at the upper end of Tier Tree in order to maximize their proftability.
