They are meant for tough off-road conditions such as soft-packed trails, water, light mud, gravel, rocks and really anything other than heavy mud or sand.

The larger and heavier the tyre, the more fuel you’ll need to move it forward. This is why All-terrain and mud-terrain tyres are not as fuel-efficient as every day, highway terrain or urban traffic tyres. But this is not a hard rule. It also depends on the driving conditions.

We recommend replacing tires aged 6-10 years, no matter how much tread remains. When it comes to replacing tires, things can be a little unpredictable. Mileage, condition and routine maintenance all contribute to the tire’s safety and usability. You should replace them if you think they may have compromised integrity.The older a tire gets, the higher the risk of sudden and unexpected tread separation. Buying used tires is a risky move.
Should I buy all-terrain or all-season tires?
We do like to tell customers that all-terrain tires are not for drivers who only spend time on paved roads or only spend time in off-road environments. The magic of these tires is in their versatility. If you stick to paved roads, get all-season tires for your Jeep—they get better fuel economy than all-terrain tires. Can You Use All-Terrain Tires on the Highway? Yes—but with caveats. While A/T tires are designed to handle highways, they don’t offer the same ride comfort or fuel economy as H/T tires. You’ll experience more road noise and possibly a rougher ride.
