About the Mastercraft Courser AXT

Tough Enough for the Trail, Tame on the Road

Best forLight truck and SUV owners who regularly mix off-road adventures with highway commuting and want a single tire that handles both with confidence.

The Mastercraft Courser AXT is a hybrid all-terrain/mud-terrain tire built for light trucks that need to perform both on the trail and on the pavement. Its aggressive tread architecture handles loose dirt, gravel, and wet or snowy roads while still delivering composed, predictable handling during daily highway driving. It's a strong choice for drivers who refuse to compromise between off-road capability and everyday usability.

The Courser AXT uses a symmetrical five-rib all-terrain tread pattern engineered with wide, zigzag circumferential grooves that channel away water and improve traction on soft terrain and light snow. Paired intermediate tread blocks and a ramp-lock design actively push stones out toward those grooves, reducing debris retention. Gripping edges across the tread face add bite on wet, icy, and snowy surfaces. Computer-aided engineering via Mastercraft's VT2ech process balances treadwear and handling, backed by a 50,000-mile treadwear warranty (U.S. only).

Questions about this tire

What does LT275/65R18 123/120S mean?

275 is the tread width in millimeters, 65 means the sidewall is 65% of that width, and R18 is the 18-inch rim it mounts on. 123 is the load index (3,417 lbs per tire), and S is the speed rating (up to 112 mph).

Is the Courser AXT good in snow and ice?

The Courser AXT's zigzag grooves and gripping tread edges provide meaningful traction in light snow and on wet or lightly icy surfaces, making it a capable all-season performer for mixed conditions. However, it does not carry the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certification, so it is not rated for severe snow service. Drivers who regularly face deep snow or heavy ice should consider a dedicated winter tire for those months.

How does the Courser AXT handle on the highway compared to a standard all-terrain tire?

The five-rib symmetrical tread design and VT2ech engineering help the Courser AXT deliver stable, predictable handling on paved roads, which is a step above many purely off-road-focused tires. That said, its aggressive tread pattern means it will likely produce more road noise than a highway or touring tire. Drivers who spend the majority of their time on pavement may notice this trade-off.

Will the Courser AXT retain stones and gravel in the tread?

Mastercraft specifically engineered the ramp-lock tread block design and paired intermediate elements to push gravel and small stones outward into the wide circumferential grooves, where they can be released rather than packed in. This helps reduce the stone retention that is a common complaint with aggressive all-terrain tires.

What is covered under the 50,000-mile treadwear warranty?

The Courser AXT comes with a 50,000-mile treadwear protection limited warranty for customers in the United States. Warranty coverage details and any conditions or exclusions are outlined in Mastercraft's official warranty documentation, which we recommend reviewing at the time of purchase.

What vehicles and rim sizes is the Courser AXT available for?

The Courser AXT is designed for light trucks and SUVs and is offered in 52 sizes covering 15-inch through 20-inch rim diameters. This broad size range makes it compatible with a wide variety of pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, and mid-size off-road-capable vehicles.

Buying from TFS Wheels

Shipping, returns & guarantees

Authorized Dealer — 100% Brand New Wheels & Tires

TFS Wheels is an authorized dealer for every brand we carry. Every wheel and tire we ship is brand new, unused, and packaged in its original manufacturer's box. We never sell refurbished, demo, or return-stock product. All manufacturer warranties apply and our warehouse is staffed by people who only handle wheels and tires — no in-transit damage, no test-fits, no surprises.

Free Shipping (Lower 48)

Free shipping on every order — wheels, tires, and accessories — to the contiguous United States. No minimum order, no hidden fees.

Standard delivery is 4–7 business days; expedited is 1–4 business days. Orders placed before 1:00 PM ET typically ship the same day. We do not ship internationally or to PO boxes.

Fitment Guarantee

If a wheel or tire marked "Direct Fit" or "Aftermarket Fit" for your vehicle arrives and does not fit as expected, we cover both the restocking fee and return shipping. The same applies if the bolt pattern does not match — provided your vehicle information was submitted at checkout.

To qualify for the guarantee, enter your year, make, model, and submodel before placing the order.

Manufacturer's Warranty

Every wheel and tire is covered by the full manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Coverage terms vary by brand — most cover structural integrity for the life of the wheel and finish for 1 to 2 years from purchase. If you ever have a warranty question, contact us first; we work directly with the manufacturer on your behalf so you don't have to.

Accessories Included with Your Order

When you submit your vehicle information at checkout, the right lug nuts and (if needed) hub-centric rings are automatically added to your cart in the correct sizes — no guessing, no separate ordering.

TPMS sensors are also available in the cart. We program each sensor to your vehicle's exact year, make, model, and submodel before shipping, so they arrive ready to sync with your truck or car the moment they're installed. This typically saves customers the dealer or installer's programming fees, which often run several dozen dollars per wheel.

Returns

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase on items in new, unused condition. A 25% restocking fee applies to general (change-of-mind) returns, and the buyer covers return shipping.

The restocking fee and return shipping are waived for incorrect items, transit damage, or fitment issues when vehicle information was provided at checkout. Single wheels, single tires, mounted items, special orders, and accessories (lug nuts, locks, hub-centric rings, TPMS sensors, installation kits) are final sale.
