  • DICK CEPEK® TIRES & WHEELS INTRODUCES 12 NEW FUN COUNTRY RADIAL SIZES IN MAY 2013

    DC-FunCountry(GunMetal7)-High

    STOW, OH – May 17, 2013 – Dick Cepek is introducing 12 new sizes of the Fun Country radial this month. With a unique hybrid design, the completely redesigned Fun Country is one of the most impressive all-terrain tires in the history of the Dick Cepek line.

    Wide lateral and offset tread grooves, together with the larger surface area, deliver excellent grip and responsive off-road traction. Stone ejector ribs and ultra-thin sipes resist stone retention and cracking.

Computer optimized pitch sequence in the tread design reduces pattern noise for a quieter ride and even wear.   (more…)
