Tire

Passenger Touring Tires

Truck and SUV tires are split up based on how you drive your vehicle. Do you have a work truck that sees a lot of highway driving? Do you have a 4×4 thats meant to go ripping on the trails with the boys? While most of these tires will be fine for both trucks and SUVs, if you’re looking for optimal performance, make sure you understand the different types of tires.

All-Season Tires

These tires are designed to deliver great comfort and handling when driving on the highway, as well as dependable all-season traction. Don’t be fooled by the term “all-season”, if you live in a city that gets heavy snowfall during the winter you’ll definitely want to purchase a set of winter tires. The tread pattern on all-season tires generally features a symmetrical tread and circumferential groovers for extra grip in wet weather.

All-Season Tires are available in two classes:

All-Season Touring Tires

Lower Noise
Better Handling

All-Season Passenger Tires

Smoother Ride
Long Lasting Tread Life

Summer Tires

Summer tires are great if you’re driving a standard passenger sedan and are looking for performance in wet and dry conditions. The orbital grooves and detailed patterns are not designed for all-season traction. Summer tires have a dedicated rubber compound that delivers great grip and steady handling on dry and rainy roads in warmer conditions. They also have reduced rolling resistance which provides better fuel efficiency and a quieter ride.

Winter Tires

Winter tires feature heavy siping and deep circumferential grooves that help reject snow and slush buildup from the contact patch. These tires contain more natural rubber so they don’t harden in colder temperatures (45 degrees Fahrenheit or 7 degrees Celsius). The rubber stays flexible and limber in colder climates to help reduce the stopping distance when braking. Winter tires are specifically engineered to provide the best possible traction in extreme cold weather conditions.

All-Season Tires are available in two classes:

Studded Tires

Features small metal studs that are designed to provide great traction on icy surfaces.

Non-Studded Tires

Have all the features of studded tires minus the studs.

Touring Tires

Touring tires, also known as Grand touring tires are engineered to deliver a comfortable ride with dependable all-season traction – with the added bonus of responsive handling. These tires typically have a higher speed rating and most times feature an asymmetrical tread pattern. They also have a wider tread and a larger contact patch with the road resulting in a “stickier” grip in the corners.

The wet surface traction is much better and the overall tread life can be longer for most models. These tires are typically meant for performance sport and sedan vehicles which require enhanced handling and a focus on performance over comfort.

Performance Tires

Performance tires are engineered to provide owners of sports sedans and luxury vehicles with enhanced handling response and traction. They typically have a larger circumferential and lateral grooves for wet weather traction.

These tires also have moderately dense siping and silica enhanced tread compounds which provide better grip – regardless the conditions. They also have a higher speed rating than touring tires.

Run-Flat Tires

Run-flat tires are one of the greatest inventions since sliced bread. Why are they so great? Imagine yourself on a road trip with no town in a 100km radius and you drive over a something sharp. Boom, punctured tire. Normally, you would pull over and hope CAA doesn’t take their sweet time. With run-flat tires, the tire will remain fully operational so you can make your way home or to the nearest auto body shop.

The tire is designed with strong, thick reinforced sidewalls that can be driven up to 80km while punctured. One thing to remember is they are not repairable and you will need to replace it with a new tire.

Competition Tires

Rarely used for daily driving, competition tires are designed to provide ultimate performance on the track. They are engineered to provide consistent road contact in dry conditions and features high-tech body and sidewall reinforcements made with kevlar or aramid.

Truck and SUV Tires

Highway Tires

These tires have all-season tread patterns and are engineered to handle the heavier loads of a truck. They are designed to provide a smooth and comfortable ride on pavement. Most highway tires feature tough compounds and tread patterns that fight uneven wear to provide a lasting tread life. The tread pattern features siping for improved all-season traction.

All-Terrain Tires

If you’re looking for tires that can handle off-roading conditions, these are the tires you’re looking for. All-terrain or A/T tires feature a more aggressive tread pattern than highway or even trail tires. They typically have larger tread blocks and more voids which helps provide great traction in off-road conditions.

In most cases, all-terrain tires feature the Severe Weather Service symbol and they are designed to handle sand, gravel and light mud. While providing little discomfort on off-road conditions, they also provide great comfort and stability on the highway.

Mud-Terrain Tires

The main difference between A/T tires and M/T tires is their traction in soft terrains. Mud-terrain, or M/T tires have very aggressive tread patterns with large tread blocks which allows these tires to get more traction in deep mud and sand. The aggressive sidewall features provide enhanced traction in soft terrain while giving a rugged appearance. In most cases, the sidewalls are reinforced to resist punctures, abrasions, and tears that occur when off-road driving.

When driving on roads, mud-terrain tires are typically less comfortable and tend to be louder than the alternatives. These car tires are perfect for people looking for a tire equipped to handle off-road driving.

All-Purpose/ Trail Tires

All-Purpose, or A/P tires, or trail tires are a little more rugged than a normal highway tire. You can look at A/P tires as mild all-terrain tires.

A/P tires usually feature fewer sipes than a typical highway truck tire and the tread pattern includes overlapping blocks that provide modest off-road grip.

Ribbed Tires

If you’re looking for a tire that provides unbeatable highway handling and long-lasting tread life, ribbed tires are the best car tires for you. They typically have a solid rib tread design enhanced for stability even when supporting a heavy load. The tread design also enhances the traction in wet weather. These tires are perfect for commercial vehicles that see a lot of highway driving.

Sport Truck Tires

Very similar to highway tires, performance truck tires feature all-season tread patterns that are enhanced for a many weather conditions. They typically have sipes for enhanced traction – however, not as many as a highway tire. Sport truck tires also have higher speed ratings than regular highway tires, and some may feature an asymmetrical tread pattern.

Specialty Tires

Trailer Tires

There are two types of trailer tires available:

Bias Ply

Can carry more weight for longer periods of time
Usually have irregular wear and rougher ride

Radial Ply

Provide a smoother ride
Better for highway driving

ATV Tires

All-terrain-vehicle, or ATV tires are available in sand, mud, all-terrain, and racing variants. Most of these tires feature large individual tread blocks and large voids which deliver exceptional traction in mud, gravel, sand, and rocks.
