The Cosmo Gripit XT is an extreme terrain, all-season tire designed for light trucks, SUVs, and Jeeps that demand superior off-road capability without sacrificing on-road comfort. The tread pattern was hand-drawn by Cosmo CEO Tony Gonzalez, combining artistic vision with engineering precision to create a tire that excels in the most challenging conditions.
Key Features:
- Patent-Pending Scalloped Shoulder Lugs: Protrusions and intrusions improve traction in sand, mud, and snow, delivering exceptional grip on loose and uneven terrain
- Quiet Kat Technology: Geometric isolation grooves break up airflow to cut road noise harmonics, ensuring a quieter ride despite the aggressive tread design
- 7.5mm Sidewall/Shoulder Claw Design: Important for traction and durability, providing enhanced protection and grip on challenging terrain
- Bead Claw Reinforcement: Heartbeat-shaped extrusions improve bead retention in deep sand and snow, keeping the tire securely mounted in extreme conditions
- Direct Super Silica (DSS) Compound: Resists cuts, boosts wet grip, and lowers rolling resistance for improved fuel efficiency and durability
- Ultimate Tire Technology (UTT): Boosts structural integrity through optimized design and bead reinforcement
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Many sizes feature a 3-ply sidewall and up to 12 plies of under-tread reinforcement for maximum puncture resistance and load capacity
All-Season Performance: The tire provides great traction in dry, wet, and light winter conditions. The aggressive tread pattern features wide grooves that disperse water and slush, preventing hydroplaning and maintaining confident grip on wet roads. M+S (Mud & Snow) indicates the tire is rated for reliable traction in challenging weather conditions.
Extreme Terrain Capability: Aggressive tread elements enable the tire to upgrade the soft, loose, and uneven terrain grip, allowing confident forward motion on loose dirt and deep mud. The tread offers a superb self-cleaning ability, eliminating mud and snow and ejecting rocks stuck between tread elements.
Load Capacity: This tire features a dual load rating of 120/117S, providing excellent load-carrying capability for heavy-duty applications. The strong compound and the reinforced internal structure work together to increase the heavy-duty handling, maintaining ideal tire shape under load and driving pressure.
Warranty: Cosmo offers a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model, backed by Cosmo's Hassle-Free Warranty Suite including road hazard protection and workmanship coverage.
Note: Extreme terrain tire types are primarily designed for off-road applications and may exhibit different on-road characteristics compared to highway tires.
