What are 4×4 Tyres?
4×4 tyres (off-road tyres or all-terrain tyres) are a specialist type of tyre designed for SUVs (sports utility vehicles) and other all-terrain vehicles. Unlike conventional car tyres, their thicker and larger size lets them grip rough terrain, providing the stability and performance you need in a difficult situation.
Mud, sand, and gravel are usually extremely slippery. The aggressive tread pattern of 4×4 tyres holds onto even slippery surfaces, pushing you forward – and the reinforced sidewalls reduce the risk of punctures.
Types of 4×4 Tyres
When choosing 4×4 tyres, the big question is, what kind of driving are you doing?
Are you planning to go off-road and across country? Are you mostly on the road? Or do you do a bit of both?
There are three types of 4×4 tyres:
- 1
On-Road Tyres: Handle the additional weight of the SUV but are optimised for road and motorway driving. Provide a quiet and efficient ride.
- 2
Off-Road Tyres: Perfect for going onto rugged, challenging terrain. Highly durable construction but noisy and less fuel-efficient.
- 3
All-Terrain Tyres: The best of both worlds – minimises wear and fuel consumption, balancing the benefits of on-road and off-road tyres.
