Atturo Trail Blade MT 255/55R19

[umbertob]

Just saw this one advertised in the premiere issue of Alloy + Grit magazine, thought I'd throw the link over on the forum as it is a fairly aggressive looking All Terrain / Mud Terrain hybrid choice for those with 19" wheels that I don't think has been discussed yet. It's not a LT tire in that size, but it is XL rated, which should make it a good choice for the LR4 in the dirt and mud.

Don't know much about Atturo tires and some of their marketing material sounds a bit... childish ("Menacing sidewall will scare children." Really?), but hey, can't be much worse than the very, very slim pickings of A/T tires available in this size, especially if you are looking for something more competent in the mud.

Just for a little additional information, after seeing that ad I contacted them to see if they had plans to make the A/T or X/T in the 255/55-19 size. The guy answered very quickly and politely. Unfortunately the answer was no, they only have plans for the M/T. The person who answered me said he runs the M/T on his LR4, so with a little googling I found a few pics and a couple of forum posts elsewhere, but not a huge amount of info. They look great on his, but are a bit aggressive for the use of my LR4 - I'd be much more inclined to run the X/T, but he said there's currently no plan to make it.

So the good of my story is that someone (not sure his role) at Atturo is one of us LR4 owners and responds to contact quite well. Bad news is only the M/T -- that isn't bad news for a lot of you, though.

Wonder where they are manufactured?

Curious what their real world performance is. The gist of the webpage sounds like the design was inspired by some guy who makes knives to make them look aggressive.

The unique design of the Trail Blade is based on the cutting edge blades of designer Jared West, of Quartermaster Knives. We partnered with Jared to create something fresh in the LT tire segment. As the styling of the tire has become almost as important as the performance, we sought a unique blend of the two. We selected knife blades to incorporate into the tire design based on their intended use as a gouging or clawing type tool. The shoulder and corresponding sidewall tread blocks are based on a pusher style double tipped blade, even including the contoured edges. The alternate sidewall lugs are from the Karambit type blades. Quartermaster is making some of the most unique high quality blades on the market. Where else can you put the same blade in your pocket and on your truck? Only with Atturo & QTRMSTR!

Not sure how serious I can take a tire design by a guy who makes knives with a nickname like a gamer kid.

IMO, anytime any company cites "combined years of experience" it means there is nobody on their staff that is worth mentioning.

Just sounds to me like they don't know much about tire science but want it to look cool and have ridiculous marketing.

I called the tire shop and their immediate feedback was ridiculous loud and only perform in trail conditions. Not recommend for all seasons. They suggested the Goodyear in the same size for a small difference in price.
