STOW, OH – Mickey Thompson’s innovative new light truck tire, the Deegan 38, is scheduled for availability in April. Developed with five-time Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series (LOORRS) champion and 16-time X Games medalist Brian Deegan, the Deegan 38 is the ultimate mud-terrain tire delivering aggressive performance, respectable street manners and impressive style.

“Product innovation is part of our legacy, and we’ve worked with a champion competitor to develop a new product with trusted Mickey Thompson quality and performance,” stated Ken Warner, VP of Marketing, Mickey Thompson. “The Deegan 38 offers a truly unique mud terrain tire with long tread life, versatility and rugged appearance for demanding enthusiasts.”

The tread consists of Mickey Thompson’s proven compound and a number of unique design elements: The beveled tread edge enhances self cleaning and lug integrity; special wide lateral and offset grooves channel water away to handle mud and rocky terrain; large center tread elements deliver better grip, even wear and a quieter ride; stone ejector ribs resist dirt and mud.

Along the shoulder, Mickey Thompson’s SideBiters and unique shoulder scallops guide mud and loose soil away from the tread. The enhanced sidewall design includes high tensile body ply cord for increased sidewall integrity, reduced rolling resistance and heat buildup. The tire’s sidewall depicts a Deegan 38 shield and raised white or black lettering.

Proudly made in the USA, the Deegan 38 will be available in 13 popular sizes. For more information, visit http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/truck.php?item=Deegan38.
