Description

The Grenlander Conquewind RT LT 265/65 R18 116Q XL is a Rugged Terrain (R/T) tire designed for light trucks, SUVs, and CUVs, blending aggressive off-road aesthetics and capability with acceptable on-road comfort. The “RT” designation signifies a hybrid category between an aggressive Mud-Terrain (M/T) and a more road-friendly All-Terrain (A/T) tire.

Here’s a breakdown of its specifications and key features:

Tire Specifications Grenlander Conquewind RT LT 265/65 R18 116Q XL :

• 265: The tire’s width is 265 millimeters.
• 65: The aspect ratio is 65, meaning the sidewall height is 65% of the width.
• R: Denotes Radial construction.
• 18: The rim diameter is 18 inches.
• 116: The Load Index is 116, indicating a maximum load capacity of 1250 kg (2756 lbs) per tire.
• Q: The Speed Rating is Q, meaning the tire is safely rated for speeds up to 160 km/h (99 mph).
• XL: Stands for “Extra Load,” indicating that the tire has a higher load capacity than a standard tire of the same size. This often implies a reinforced construction to handle heavier vehicles or loads.

Key Features and Technology (Grenlander Conquewind RT LT 265/65 R18 116Q XL:

The Conquewind R/T is designed to offer a balanced performance across various terrains:

• Aggressive Open Pattern Shoulder Design:
  • Improved Longitudinal Grip: Enhances traction on muddy, gravel, and snow-covered roads.
  • Staggered Shoulder Shape: Combined with strong skeleton material to prevent sidewall damage from rocks and improve grip.
  • “Different Under-shoulder Pattern Design”: A unique design feature that protects the tire shoulder and upper sidewall from damage, improves grip on muddy surfaces, and enhances grip in low adhesion conditions, even with low air pressure. This distinctive appearance also caters to user preferences.
• Large Shoulder with Small Flower Pattern Blocks in the Middle: This design aims to ensure strong off-road performance while simultaneously improving comfort on paved roads, creating a “perfect combination of off-road and road driving performance.”
• Composite Pitch Fit Pitch Random Arrangement Design: This technology is used to optimize tire grip and comfort, and significantly reduce regular road noise, which is a common complaint with aggressive R/T or M/T tires.
• Durability and Damage Resistance: The robust construction and unique shoulder designs are focused on preventing damage from off-road hazards.
• Versatile Terrain Capability: Engineered to provide reliable traction on muddy, gravel, rocky, and snowy surfaces, making it a true rugged terrain option.

Performance Characteristics: Grenlander Conquewind RT LT 265/65 R18 116Q XL

• Season: Generally classified as a summer tire or rugged terrain tire suitable for warmer climates. While its tread design offers grip in gravel and some snow, it’s not a dedicated winter tire for severe ice or snow conditions.
• Off-Road: Strong performance in moderate off-road conditions, including dirt, gravel, and some mud, thanks to its aggressive tread and reinforced sidewalls.
• On-Road: Aims to provide acceptable comfort and reduced noise compared to full-blown mud-terrain tires, making it suitable for daily driving.
• Load Capacity: The 116 load index and XL designation confirm its capability for heavier light trucks and SUVs.
• Speed: The Q speed rating indicates it’s designed for typical highway speeds for these types of vehicles, but not high-performance driving.
