MPT81 - Use Cases
The MPT81 is versatile and can be used for many different applications.
Multi-Purpose Tires, or MPT tires, are designed for mixed on/off road use with the ability to perform in adverse conditions. The MPT81 has a flexible carcass allowing for on-road use and challenging off-road operations. MPT81 tires are often used on rescue vehicles because they can weather unpredictable conditions. Their unique tread design with a multiple block pattern can handle muddy, stony, snowy, wet, or dry terrain. This versatility also makes the MPT81 a reliable choice for work trucks and a high performing tire for overlanding and off-roading vehicles.
Rescue and Police Vehicles
Ontario-based Terradyne produces a ballistic resistant vehicle, the GURKHA, which is available in three variants: LAPV, MPV and RPV.

These vehicles are available in multiple configurations including firefighting capability or a tactical EMS configured interior for extreme versatility.
At Terradyne, we pride ourselves on our quality, performance, and reliability. Performance is proven through destructive testing and the utilization of premium componentry. Continental MPT81 tires were selected to match our vehicle on-road speed, maneuverability under constant load, and off-road 4x4 all terrain capabilities.

Overlanding Vehicles
Since 1998, Colorado-based EarthRoamer has been redefining luxury camping and overland travel with their solar/diesel hybrid, four-wheel drive Xpedition Vehicles (XVs). All EarthRoamers offer capability, comfort, craftsmanship and convenience unmatched by typical recreational vehicles. To ensure EarthRoamers can explore any environment unbridled, EarthRoamer includes MPT81 tires as standard equipment on all EarthRoamer LTi builds.
The Ford F-550 based EarthRoamer LTi is designed to be used both on highways and off road, and the MPT81 is the only tire that we have found that is comfortable at highway speeds, provides good traction on rough trails and can handle the weight of an EarthRoamer. In conjunction with our forged aluminum military beadlock wheels, it is the perfect tire/wheel combination for our vehicles.
Brush Trucks
Texas-based Skeeter Brush Trucks builds high performance off-road fire apparatus. They know that wildland fires occur in the hardest places to reach and require a swift response – and that’s exactly what their trucks are built for. Since traction and stability over all types of terrain are critical, Skeeter Brush Trucks uses MPT81 tires because they perform exceptionally well in all environments, regardless of weather conditions. First Responders demand a lot of a tire, and when they go off road, they need a very tough tire. The MPT81 has proven itself to perform in their world.
