What is the best all-terrain tyre and how to pick the right set for your vehicle. Although most tyre tests typically compare the traction performance of one product against another, with so many terrain types available, traction is arguably the most inconclusive way of comparing two all-terrain tyres.
If your vehicle has recently picked up a slight vibration and some road noise, it could indicate that your tyres need rotating. Rotating your tyres helps to equalise these wear rates, which means longer tyre life, quieter road noise, and a smoother ride. This is true for all tyres, but failure…
For many off-road enthusiasts, the best way to determine an all-terrain’s puncture resistance is to look at the ply rating. In most cases, consumers view 3-plies as the industry benchmark for off-road use. However, in real terms, ply count isn’t as relevant today as it was 20-years ago.
Would you buy a brand new bakkie without a warranty? Probably not. That’s because most of us recognise how risky it would be, should the vehicle’s engine bomb out.
“Mud-terrain or all-terrain?” A common question heard on any 4×4 forum, the question usually goes something like “So, I’m in the market for a new set of tyres and I can’t decide between mud-terrains or…
Sometime ago a well-known 4×4 magazine published an all-terrain tyre shootout, one that focused heavily on sand-driving performance, as well as gravel…
What makes one tyre more susceptible to cut and chip than another? Well, let’s look at that question from a different angle and ask: If we engineered a tyre specifically for extreme cut and chip resistance, what would it look like?
Puncture resistance, payload capacity, heat tolerance, body roll, steering response and pressure performance… are just some of the features directly linked to the construction of a tyre’s carcass.
Off-road tyres need to possess design features that address the added problem of loose, rutted, and abrasive terrain. So, what are these design features? Well, the answer lies in what we call TCC
