All Terrain tires simply provide you with off road capability while still keeping things quite and comfortable on road. These tires are especially designed in a way to allow stability on both worlds.
And since it’s very tough to find the perfect balance between these two terrains, these AT tires have to undergo a lot of engineering and tread designing to achieve better results.
And that’s where I come in, so you guys can understand, exactly what’s going on with these tires.
All terrain tires are mostly seen with staggered shoulder blocks and sidewall lugs which enhance the off road handling and gripping.
Their inner construction is also much more durable, where they are mostly seen with more no. of plies to protect the sidewalls, which is very susceptible to damage off road.
These tire compared to ordinary ones are provided with larger groove voids and depth so that they can be more capable of getting dirt, mud and water out of the tire.
But with larger grooves, the tire also loses rubber to road contact and this loses the grip. That’s why all terrain tires have to compromise between the aggressiveness and the on road comfort.
Cooper Discoverer Rugged Trek has a rugged terrain skin on top, but from inside, it's a weaker tire, yet it still performs better on mud and sand, and with a lighter structure is good with fuel and tread wear. Nitto Ridge Grappler…
Out of both tires, the Pro Comp A/T although gives a very on-road oriented design, with it's larger weight (still), it gets to lack in terms of fuel efficiency and tread life. Though it still yeilds improved traction on both wet and…
The Kanati Trail Hog being a more aggressive tire does better off-road, where it's self cleaning grooves deals with gravel and mud, and it's thicker lugs provide sand and rocky terrain traction. The BF Goodrich KO2 on the other side, features a…
Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T is although more aggressive in comparison it still manages to provide better grip on wet roads in comparison. And at the same time, it shines in most of the off-road terrains, including rocks. But what really impresses…
The Bridgestone Dueler Revo 3, is a better daily driver, as it offers greater on-road grip in both wet and dry conditions. Moreover, it also features superior fuel economy, tread life and comfort levels. Though it can't outperform the BF Goodrich KO2…
I have basically compared apples and oranges here, on one end, there's a very aggressive and popular tire, the BF Goodrich KO2, providing you with undoubtedly, amazing traction on all sorts of off-road tracks. The tire is also pretty great with fuel…
The Hankook Dynapro ATM is although not such a great tire on wet roads, compared to KO2, it still provides better traction capabilities. And on dry pavements, that is seen prominently. That's why you get higher speed rating with this tire. Moreover,…
Atturo Trail Blade XT is a very nice overall tire. It provides better wet traction (on pavements), and a better overall comfort. And off-road the tire is one of the best to get for sandy terrains. BF Goodrich KO2 on the other…
Let me summarize things here quickly. Out of both tires, the Kenda Klever does better with wet roads, fuel economy, tread life, and witner traction. Whereas, on BFG KO2, you get a superior mud and rocky terrain traction, basically a majority of…
Mickey Thompson Baja Legend EXP is although not a great tire to have on-roads, it really shines on rugged terrains on nearly all sorts of surfaces (expect for rocks). BF Goodrich KO2 on the other hand, does better with dry and wet…
Out of both the Falken Wildpeak AT3w provides you with a superior wet grip, and a comfortable ride on pavements, whereas on rugged terrains, it's nearly better in almost all of them, as ti features a more open design with a lot…
So out of both tires, off-road Wildpeak AT3w provides you better sand traction and grip on gravely roads, and on roads, you get an enhanced traction on both dry and wet pavements, slightly better tread life, better fuel efficiency, and overall comfort.…
