Understand your needs
To choose the right off road tyres, you need to think about your specific requirements:
Driving habits
Consider the percentage of time you'll spend on-road versus off-road. If you primarily drive on highways with occasional off-road trips, all-terrain tyres might be your best bet. For frequent off-road use, mud tyres could be more suitable.
Types of terrain
Different terrains require different tyre characteristics. Think about the specific off-road conditions you'll encounter most often. Are you dealing with muddy trails, rocky paths, or sandy dunes? If yes, then mud tyres might be your safer bet.
Key features to consider
When evaluating off road tyres, pay attention to these important features:
1. Tread pattern and depth
A deeper, more aggressive tread provides better off-road traction but may wear faster on paved roads. Look for a pattern that suits your primary four wheel driving conditions.
2. Sidewall construction
Tyres with reinforced sidewalls offer better protection against punctures and cuts, which is essential for rough terrains.
3. Load index
This indicates how much weight the tyre can safely carry. Ensure the 4x4 tyres you choose can handle your vehicle's weight, especially if you carry heavy loads.
4. Compound
Some 4WD tyres feature special compounds to resist cuts from rocks and rough terrains while others are designed to be softer to provide better grip but they usually wear faster. Look for the ones that suit your preferences.
5. Size and fitment
Ensure the tyres are compatible with your vehicle's specifications. While larger tyres can provide better ground clearance and a tougher look, they may require modifications to your vehicle and can affect its handling and fuel efficiency.
6. Tyre pressure
On LT off road tyre, pressure needs to be adjusted compared to the construction of passenger tyres. Please contact your local tyre dealer.
