More than the interface between vehicle and road, tires are engineered to enhance performance, control, safety, and durability based on vehicle specifications and operating conditions. Below is an in-depth look at different types of tires with specialized applications.
Tire Load: All-Terrain (AT) Tires
All-terrain tires are designed for vehicles that require the ability to transition between paved roads and off-road terrain. Featuring large gaps and blocks, these tires provide decent traction on mud, gravel, and snow. While they perform adequately on highways, aggressive tread patterns can lead to increased road noise and reduced fuel efficiency compared to standard road tires.
Tire Load: Mud-Terrain (MT) Tires
Mud-terrain tires cater to extreme off-road conditions, featuring larger blocks ideal for loose or uneven surfaces. Although exceptional off-road, they can be loud and unstable on paved roads due to their rigidity.
Understanding Tires: Performance Tires
Performance tires are crafted for high-speed driving, focusing on grip and precise handling with a soft rubber compound. While they offer excellent stability at high speeds, they may wear quickly and underperform in cold conditions.
Tire Load: Winter Tires
Winter tires are designed with deep tread depth and flexible rubber compounds for icy conditions. While effective in snow, they can wear quickly on dry roads due to their softer construction.
Tire Load: Run-Flat Tires
Run-flat tires operate safely for limited distances after deflation, thanks to reinforced sidewalls. While enhancing safety, they may provide a firmer ride and wear faster than standard tires.
Low Rolling Resistance Tires
Eco-friendly or low-rolling-resistance tires are engineered to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions, making them suitable for electric vehicles. However, they may sacrifice some grip and durability compared to standard tires.

Summary at glance
Tires are engineered to enhance vehicle performance, control, safety, and durability according to specific conditions. All-terrain (AT) tires offer versatility for both paved and off-road surfaces, while mud-terrain (MT) tires excel in extreme off-road conditions but can damage paved roads. Performance tires focus on grip for high-speed driving, and winter tires are designed for icy conditions. Run-flat tires maintain safety post-deflation, and low-rolling-resistance tires improve fuel efficiency, ideal for electric vehicles.
