When Offroad Academie trains 4×4 drivers in 2023, they’ll be using CST tires, including the CST Land Dragon.
Offroad Academie offers courses for drivers of 4×4 vehicles including trucks, vans and SUVs. Beginning in February 2023, the school’s training will be based in Meppen Fun Park in Lower Saxony. The hands-on courses are taught entirely off-road by qualified, experienced instructors. International off-road trips are also on offer; destinations on tap for 2023 include Poland, Carpathia, the West Alps, Sweden, Bosnia, Montenegro, Albania, Iceland, Namibia and Botswana.
CST’s Land Dragon is ready for any terrain these drivers and instructors encounter. The shovel-like arrangement of the tread blocks and the flexible, diagonal tire structure make the Land Dragon CL-18 the tire to trust for extreme use on changing surfaces. The Land Dragon is the smart choice for 4×4 vehicles in all-terrain conditions.
