Buying the right tyres for your SUV or 4×4 is paramount. To choose the tyres you need, you first need to figure out what specification you require:
- Speed rating;
- Load rating;
- Size;
- Construction; and
- Tread pattern.
While all of the above are important factors in the buying of tyres for your pickup truck, SUV or 4×4, in this article we will focus on the tread pattern.
Generally speaking, there are three main choices; road, all-terrain and mud tyre. The difference is the size of the tread blocks and spacing.
Depending on where you are planning on driving your vehicle most of the times, you will need accordingly-suitable tyres:
On occasional dirt roads: stock tyres will be just fine.
Mostly on dirt roads: The tread pattern is less important, but a good all-terrain would definitely offer better handling and grip than a road pattern tyre. You don’t need a mud terrain.
Off-road – mud, hills, rocks and the like: Here the tread pattern becomes more important depending on the duration and difficulty of the offroad drive.
Remote touring: At least an all-terrain pattern as you’ll need to move from many long stretches of bitumen to dirt roads to offroad as you move around. Take also a second spare tyre for these trips.
