Why It WinsFactory-size fitment with aggressive mud-cleaning tread
Use CaseWork trucks, utility units, and severe-duty service

The Founders 225/70R19.5 M/T gives heavy-duty trucks a direct-fit step into serious off-road traction. It keeps the factory size logic in place, including speed and weight expectations, while replacing a street-oriented tread with a more aggressive self-cleaning mud-terrain pattern.

For trucks that cannot afford to lose mobility on wet ground, snow, loose surfaces, or work sites, the 225 M/T is the cleanest entry point into the Founders lineup. No wheel change. No conversion. Just more tire.

Built to keep a working truck moving.

The 225 M/T is for buyers who want real traction gains without jumping into a larger-size tire or wheel change. Direct fit. Serious grip. No drama.

Founders 225 M/T tread detail

Direct-fit sizing with a more aggressive tread package for trucks that still need to behave on the road.

Tread Breakdown

Five zones. One purpose: keep the truck moving.

The same proven tread architecture that makes Founders tires effective in severe-duty conditions. Five zones working together to deliver traction, stability, and durability across pavement, dirt, mud, and snow, in a direct-fit size.

1

Shoulder Lugs

Cornering stability and off-road bite, staggered edges cut noise without sacrificing the lateral grip that matters when terrain gets uneven.

2

Center Tread Blocks

Primary contact patch for straight-line stability, braking, and acceleration traction, the foundation of everyday usability on a working truck.

3

Transition Blocks

Bridge forces between the center zone and shoulders, balancing handling feel and reducing the harmonics that show up as road noise.

4

Stone Ejectors & Siping

Clear rocks from the tread, add wet-grip bite, and support winter traction, small features that make a real difference on the job site.

5

Tie Bars & Stabilizers

Reinforce the pattern so the tread wears evenly and stays controlled on the highway without raising noise or giving up off-road performance.
