Abstract

An all terrain vehicle tire (10) has an annular tread (12) and a casing (11) radially inward of the tread (12). The tread (12) has a plurality of tread lugs (92, 94) and a central rib (95). The plurality of tread lugs (92, 94) are disposed on each tread half and spaced axially from the equatorial plane of the tire (10). The spacing from the equatorial plane of the tire (10) is a distance of at least 10% of the tread width. The central rib (95) is located between the plurality of tread lugs (92) on each tread half. The central rib (95) has a nonskid depth as measured from the inner tread surface of less than the maximum nonskid depth of the tread lugs (92, 94). The preferred embodiment tire (10) has a pair of inserts (42), one insert (42) being in each sidewall (18, 20) of the tire (10) and a third insert (70) disposed between a breaker reinforcing structure (36) and at least one ply reinforcing structure (38) of the casing (11).
