What is best?
With so many tyre choices available for 4×4 and SUV vehicles, finding the best option can be challenging. Whether you drive a Landcruiser or an Outback, your choice should depend on how you most frequently use your vehicle. Different makes, models, shapes and sizes of vehicles require specific tyres to match their driving needs.
Highway Terrain Tyres
For your long hauls or short commutes around your suburbs and cities highway tyres deliver a smooth and quite ride. Highway terrain tyres are best on paved roads in both dry and wet conditions.
Their sleek, straight tread pattern offers fuel efficiency and good rolling resistance. This is the most common tyre pattern and is widely produced for all passenger vehicles including sedans, hatchbacks, SUVs and 4×4.
All Terrain Tyres
All Terrain tyres feature a reinforced sidewall, aggressive tread and a harder rubber compound to handle various terrains.
Designed for SUV’s & 4×4’s, they’re ideal for vehicles that encounter mixed driving conditions. The all terrain tyres allow safe and comfortable highway driving while being ready to tackle extreme conditions at a moment’s notice.
With deep tread and harder compound, they typically offer greater longevity compared to other tyres. If you’re driving includes long haul, short commutes, and occasional off-roading (light or extreme), these tyres would be an excellent choice.
Mud Terrain Tyres
Designed for the most extreme conditions, the mud-terrain tyres aggressive tread patterns with large lugs and soft rubber. These features help maintain traction and stability in challenging conditions like sand, mud gravel and all other off-road conditions.
These tires are specifically suited for 4x4s that spend most of their time off paved roads. However, they’re not ideal for regular road use as they compromise ride quality and generate significant cabin noise. Their aggressive design also means shorter life expectancy, so consider your needs carefully.
