History/Description: The Mazda B-Series and Ford Ranger pickups might be the longest-lived models on the Canadian market. With a lifespan covering 13 years, these cross-branded small pickups lived from 1998 to 2010 with minimal changes. Cheap, reliable and capable, they offered plenty of selection to shoppers after anything from a simple two-wheel drive work truck to a nicely loaded 4x4.
These tires are designed both for paved roads and those covered in stones, gravel, dirt, sand and snow, including trails. As such, they usually offer more capability off the road than on the road. They feature multifaceted tread blocks to help deliver traction in any direction. Plus, they are branded with the M+S symbol indicating their ability to provide all-season versatility, including traction in snow.
