THE M726EL IS A MULTI USE TIRE. THE TREAD IS DEEP ENOUGH FOR LIGHT OFF ROAD USE. THE TREAD IS SPREAD OUT ENOUGH FOR WINTER USE. THE CLOSED SIDEWALLS ON THE TREAD ACTUALLY WORK TO KEEP THE TIRE GOING STRAIGHT. THIS IS TRULY A MULTI USE TIRE.

Tougher to last longer

The“EL” in M726 EL means “extra life.” To optimize tread durability for one of the deepest drives in history, the M726 EL tread compound is stronger and more resistant to

irregular wear. This helps this 32/32˝deep tread wear slowly and evenly, delivering mega-mileage.

Wider to last longer

M726 EL’s wider tread distrib-utes weight and torque over a larger area for longer,smoother wear.

Bridgestone’s proven twin-layercap/base tread

Cap-and-base construction minimizes heat generation and helps shield casing from damaging heat, enhancing retreadability for even more low-cost miles.

Computer-designed

all-steel casing

Four steel belts and a tough steel body ply fight tread squirm

and irregular wear. Top belt addsprotection against penetrating

road hazards to fight flats.

M726EL’s deep-drive technology

Rugged block compound

Specially designed to produce stiff blocks that resist tread squirm and heel-and-toe wear for

exceptionally long tread life. Buttressed shape fights block tearing for even more miles of smooth wear.

Large aggressive blocks

Computer-engineered blocks are shaped and positioned to bite into soft surfaces for excellent traction, even on mud and snow.

Thirsty block sipes

Engineered to cut through water androad films for solid wet traction. Sipe

ends are rounded to resist tearing,even under high torque.

Casing-saving stone rejector platforms

Prevent trapped stones from pushing deeper into tread grooves and piercing belt layer,

damaging and exposing belts to rust.

High-grip shoulder notches

Bite through water for superb wet traction.

Stabilizing solid shoulder design

Distributes weight and torque tofight irregular wear and blocksquirm for outstanding, even wear.
