abbreviation HT. In general, when the off-road vehicles are usually shipped to the installation of the new car is neutral road tread tires, mainly for highway driving, is characterized by relatively soft sidewalls, tread fine.
English name is ALLTERRAIN, in the country generally referred to as AT tires, off-road enthusiasts but also the most widely used tires. All-terrain tires designed to have compatibility than road tires, all-terrain tire tread designs have relatively rough, fetal tooth pitch slightly larger than the road tires, the negative effect of this design is to decrease road performance, the noise increased, but durability and adhesion on non-paved road is stronger than road tires, off-road and road performance both tires.
while the difference between the AT large tires, off-road tire tread AT most complex, such tires have to focus on off-road sand, has focused on the highway, but also focusing on mud traveling. In short, the more the rubber to the ground, the better road handling; the smaller the ground-contacting tread, while the deeper the trench, the better off-road performance.
referred to as MT (Mud-Terrain) tires, off-road enthusiasts and generally only specific sections of workers will choose. It is the reverse of the road tires (HT), MT tire wall hard, exaggerated fetal teeth, the distance between the tire significantly larger teeth, facilitate slow speed when mud or mud thrown mud high speed, additionally in some poor underfoot the more easily increase the adhesion, such as uneven rockground. When driving on the highway noisy MT tires, when the vehicle speed is below 10km / h the tire will feel the teeth of shock. Braking and steering performance is a lot of difference with HT tire, rainy road pavement more easily out of control.
but on a non-paved ground it can give you excellent grip, especially on difficult to damage in harsh terrain, it will give you a strong confidence. Others may think that certain MT tire wet traction is also very good, wrong, MT tire as its name MUD- muddy, as it largely emphasis on the muddy ground, that is to say whether the drought in the north of most of the season MT tires will need calm consideration. If you choose MT tires, so less rubber to the ground will accelerate tire wear, but you’ll sacrifice a lot of road driving performance.
In addition to these three common off-road tires, as well as some of the more professional but very rare type of tire, such as: snow tires, rain tires, tire climbing, desert tires.
