The Tru-Trac comes with a long limited warranty and is available with a cost-effective package. The Tru-Trac family has four product lines under its badge - an all-season tire, the Tru-Trac SU and an all-weather tire SU Flex for CUVs and SUVs, a highway-terrain tire, the Tru-Trac HT for light trucks and SUVs, and an all-terrain tire, Tru-Trac AT for light trucks and SUVs. Let’s take a closer look and break down what the Tru-Trac line is all about, tire by tire:

Armstrong Tru-Trac

The Armstrong Tru-Trac SU is a long-lasting all-season tire that offers increased wet traction, reduced rolling resistance, and better ride quality and is designed for use on CUVs and SUVs. Backed by a 65,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty, the Tru-Trac SU features a shoulder bottom base and blocks that prevent block wriggling and tire deformation. While the specially engineered cross-linked sipes on the inner ribs reduce rolling resistance its wide footprint puts more rubber on the road, improving wet grip and stability. In addition, its stiff sidewalls absorb impacts on uneven roads improving ride comfort. Every Armstrong Tru-Trac SU comes with a 6-year limited warranty, 24/7 roadside assistance, road hazard repairs, and 30-day money-back assurance. The Armstrong Tru-Trac SUV comes in with SimpleScore ratings of 8.1 for traction, 8.4 for handling, 9.5 for longevity, and 8.7 for an overall average.

Armstrong Tru-Trac SU Flex

The Armstrong Tru-Trac SU Flex is an all-weather tire that combines the best of summer and winter performances. While its specially engineered tread profile resists irregular wear and enhances longevity, its asymmetrical tread pattern with optimal winter and summer sipes offers year-round traction. Its multiple biting edges on the inner grooves improve performance in difficult situations, while dense sipes on the outside and inner tread increase traction and steering response. With a long limited warranty of 50,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty, the Armstrong Tru-Trac SU Flex is an ideal choice for CUVs and SUVs like the Audi Q5, Chrysler Pacifica, Dodge Grand Caravan, Chevrolet Captiva, Honda CR-V, and Ford Bronco.

Armstrong Tru-Trac HT

The Armstrong Tru-Trac HT is a highway-terrain tire that offers greater towing ability, increased traction, reduced rolling resistance, and a quiet drive for light trucks and SUVs. It has a specially engineered tread design that provides greater towing ability and a noise-blocking bar on the tire shoulders that prevents premature wear and reduces road noise. While the Tru-Trac HT’s continuous open lateral channels improve tire grip in slick conditions, its curved tread design boosts rigidity and lowers rolling resistance. Backed by a 65,000 mile limited tread life warranty, the Tru-Trac HT is designed to provide great performance for heavy-duty towing and hauling.

While the Tru-Trac AT’s four zigzag circumferential grooves give outstanding traction and stability, its interlocking center blocks with slanted edges improve comfort, particularly during off-road driving. The robust housing improves high-speed stability and steering response in demanding conditions, while bridges between the shoulder blocks prevent erratic wear and reduce block wiggling. The Tru-Trac AT is also covered by a 60,000 mile guarantee, ensuring long-term performance and reliability.
