CST Sahara M/T II



Description

The CST Sahara M/T II is a dedicated off-road mud-terrain tire engineered for light trucks and SUVs requiring maximum traction in extreme conditions. Its aggressive tread design features deep, self-cleaning lugs with 3D block elements and grooved ribs to dig into mud, sand, and rocky terrain.

Features & Benefits

  • Armored Sidewalls: 3-ply construction and reinforced rubber protect against rock cuts and sidewall punctures.
  • Grooved Rib Design: Enhances mud evacuation and traction in soft terrain by channeling debris away from the tread.
  • 3D Block Tread Pattern: Increases rigidity for durability on sharp rocks and uneven surfaces while maintaining flexibility for grip.
  • Heat-Dissipation Tread Compound: Reduces overheating during high-stress off-road use, prolonging tire life.
  • High-Load Capacity: Supports heavy payloads (e.g., 3,415 lbs max load) for overlanding or utility vehicles.
  • Self-Cleaning Lugs: Wide spacing prevents mud packing, ensuring consistent traction in sticky conditions.

Year Released

Launched in 2018, the Sahara M/T II remains CST’s flagship mud-terrain tire.

Regions Availability

Exclusively available in Europe.

Vehicle Compatibility / Popular Vehicle Fitments

Available in 15”–17” diameters (e.g., 31X10.50R15, 265/75R16, 285/70R17), the M/T II suits:

  • Land Rover Defender, Discovery
  • Toyota Land Cruiser, Hilux
  • Jeep Wrangler, Gladiator
  • Mercedes-Benz G-Class
  • Ford Ranger, F-150
  • Nissan Patrol, Navara

Note: Verify load ratings and fitment with a specialist to match specific off-road requirements.

Final Thoughts

The Sahara M/T II caters to European off-road enthusiasts and utility operators navigating severe terrain. Its armored construction and self-cleaning tread excel in mud and rocks, though on-road noise and vibration are typical for this category. The tire’s heat management and load capacity make it suitable for overlanding rigs or work trucks, but it lacks the snowflake (3PMSF) certification for winter use. Compared to premium brands like BFGoodrich or Goodyear, it offers comparable durability at a lower cost, appealing to budget-conscious buyers. For dedicated off-roaders willing to trade highway comfort for trail dominance, the M/T II delivers uncompromising performance where it matters most.
