Everybody uses their Four Wheel Drive (4WD) for different purposes under different conditions, so it’s imperative you invest in the right tyre type and brand to meet your expectations. Selecting the incorrect tyre type can result in years of dissatisfaction and as you’re not pleased with its performance, you may perhaps think to replace the tyre ahead of time.
For instance, let’s assume, you drive your 4WD 90% on the road – for such driving requirements choosing an all-terrain tyre is not the right choice. You may reason why? That’s because to gain just 10% off-road performance, you sacrifice 40% of the tyres on road performance, which could result in a noisy and uneasy tyre to drive on paved road conditions for a major portion of the tyre’s lifespan.
Let’s look at 4×4 Tyre types & what tyre type you need to select for your vehicle’s utmost performance.
HIGHWAY-TERRAIN (H/T) TYRES
The Highway-Terrain is among the popular tyre pattern that we sell. This tyre is perfect for the driver who drives the car mostly on the road. To minimise road noise, this tyre renders a tranquil ride with a closed tread pattern, compacted shoulder and tread design. Usually, the highway terrain tyres will perform well in the sand.
MUD-TERRAIN (M/T) TYRES
The Mud-Terrain is exclusively made for the 4WD buff who loves to take on off-road tracks only. The zealous open tread pattern renders amazing grip in muddy conditions solely because of the tread patterns that are meticulously designed for tough off-road conditions. Mud-Terrain tyres aren’t meant for on-road driving. Therefore, when a customer clearly asks for M/T tyres, you can make out that they would be driving on off-road tracks only.
ALL TERRAIN (A/T) TYRES
Well, All-Terrain is also among the best selling tyre types in this part of the country. That’s because people love driving their vehicles to one of the remotest areas (outback) on weekends or on holidays to spend time quality time with family or friends in the midst of nature. With advancement in technology, all-terrain tyres have developed immensely rendering capability to tackle 50% on road and 50% off-road. The All-Terrain tyre is perfect for a driver that spends around half the year driving in off-road conditions. However, most drivers that drive about 30% off road have an inclination to pick the all-terrain over the highway-terrain – that’s because they are prepared to forfeit on road noise to achieve that extra performance when they take on the off-road challenge.
