Top 5 Reasons to Choose the Accelera Badak X-Treme Off-Road Tire for Your Next off-road Adventure

Letting air pressure out of your tires or “airing down” to the point of what most people would consider a flat tire, might seem like the opposite of everything you have ever learned about tires. However, in the off-road world, it is one of the single best things you can do when off the pavement. Lowering the tire pressure of your tires has many key benefits, the biggest being that it increases the surface area of the tire tread that is interacting with the ground.

The Accelera Badak X-treme and the Armstrong Desert Dog MT are categorized as mud-terrain tires, but what are they really like. Well, let me tell you...

Performance tires vary from tire to tire, and what you need from each tire varies depending on you, your car, and how you’re using it. Whether you’re slamming it sideways around a bend or competing for the best time around a lap, the amount of grip you need can be a little different.

When it comes to tires, there are made the same right? WRONG. The amount of diversity in tires is maddening. So, how does Armstrong stand out? Easy… for starters Armstrong has a long history of American grit. Whether it’s from making tires that are truly meant to take a beating, its absolutely insane manufacturer’s warranty, or its ability to tackle any obstacle ahead, Armstrong tires have a grip on the market.

Brake discs, calipers, and the parts immediately around them are there to absorb stored energy from the car moving when you want to slow down. This absorption creates an intense amount of heat that has to be exchanged with the air around it.

Well some tires are geared more towards intense off-roading, some are a hybrid meant for both on and off-road performance, and some are meant high-level on-road performance.

How is it that rally cars can glide across gravel roads that are littered with a variety of hazards such as potholes, bumps, rocks and other unforeseen objects and rarely find themselves stranded with punctured tires?

Rally is fun as hell. You have a tight-knit community of drivers, co-drivers, volunteers, scrutineers, and enthusiasts all rooting for each other’s success.
