Different Types Of SUV Tyres & Who Should Buy It
Over the last few years, the demand for SUVs in the Indian automobile market has sky-rocketed. In fact, many car manufacturers are now giving more focus on SUVs to boost their sales figures.
That being said, SUVs demand slightly different requirements when compared to a sedan or a hatchback. Also, some of the SUVs can be used in very harsh terrains as well. As such, many tyre manufacturers make tyres that suit the different requirements of SUVs.
However, there are many types of SUV tyres currently available in the Indian market, making it difficult to buy the right tyre. In general, SUV tyres are categorised into 4 types - All Terrain Tyres, Highway Terrain Tyres, Mud Terrain Tyres, and Rough Terrain Tyres.
So, here's a quick glimpse at different types of tyres for SUVs for helping you choose the right tyre for your SUV. Also, we suggest buying new tyres based on the purpose and requirement rather than for the looks.
All Terrain Tyres
All Terrain tyres strike a good balance between on-road and off-road requirements. These tyres offer good on-road performance without sacrificing much traction over rough terrain. As a result, these tyres are likely to suit those who take their SUVs on occasional off-road runs only.
As such, these tyres are ideal for a majority of SUV users in India. Also, these tyres are suitable for those who work in construction-related works as they may run into unpaved roads in their day-to-day work life.
Highway Terrain Tyres
Highway Terrain tyres provide the best on-road performance for an SUV. These tyres are tailor-made for urbanites who predominantly use their SUVs for day-to-day runnings which involve general errands like office commutes, occasional shopping runs, and other general chores.
On top of that, the Highway Terrain tyres also provide good performance on the tarmac during wet conditions as well. However, one of the biggest advantages of Highway Terrain tyres are their quiet and smooth ride quality.
Mud Terrain Tyres
Mud Terrain tyres are primarily suited for those people who often take their SUVs out for off-road drives. As a result, these tyres come with deeper and blockier tread patterns designed to provide traction during extreme off-road courses.
However, due to such construction, these tyres are loud and provide less grip on the tarmac. On the upside, these tyres look very aggressive, as a result, few SUV owners use these tyres despite having no off-road purpose.
Rough Terrain Tyres
Rough Terrain tyres are also termed 'Rugged Terrain' tyres, and these tyres offer better off-road capability than All Terrain tyres. Moreover, Rough Terrain tyres sport tread pattern that is less aggressive compared to the one on the Mud Terrain tyres.
As a result, these tyres are recommended to off-road enthusiasts who also use their SUVs for general purposes as well. Also, thanks to their aggressive tread pattern, they also enhance the look of the SUV.
