Do You Know How to Choose On-off Road Tires?

Old drivers, please remember: the principle that more expensive, the better is not suitable for tires, and various vehicles cannot use the same type of tires.

The selection of on off road tyres needs to be supported by a certain knowledge base. Then, let me explain for you:

You should know the types of tires. Tires can be classified as many types, mainly including highway tires, all-terrain tires and mud tires.

Highway Tire

Highway tire not only ensures the economy and comfort but also has a certain light off-road capability, which is a kind of original tires that the majority of automobile manufactures are willing to use. Although this kind of tire has inferior off-road performance, it has a long service life and lower noise, and it's more stable than all-terrain tires and mud tires.

All-terrain Tire

All terrain tire has a harder tread and wider tread patterns than that of highway tire. It can enhance the grip and wear resistance on the non-paved road surface, so it is the most commonly used tire for off-road vehicles after the modification on the road. In terms of comfort and noise, the indicators are also reasonable, so it's a kind of tires having both off-road capacity and comfort. If the time you drive on urban roads and the time you drive on sandy and soft soil roads are almost equal, please choose all terrain tires, because its wide tread will increase the floatability on soft roads. At the same time, the fuel consumption will be lower because of its inferior off-road performance.

Mud Tire

Generally, only off-road enthusiasts and workers working on special roads will choose mud tire. On the contrary to the highway tire, mud tire has a hard sidewall, exaggerated tread and the obvious large distance between tread patterns, which is convenient for slow or high-speed mud dumping when driving on muddy ground. In addition, it is easier to increase the adhesion on some roads with bad conditions. However, it will be more noisy than all terrain tire when driving on highways, because the better off-road performance is, the harder it will be, so that the greater the noise will be. Although it will accelerate the wear, the benefits are obvious: the mud tire provides better support and traction to help you out of trouble on the more complex rocky grass roads, which is a good choice for the on off road tires.
