Are 285 tires good for off-roading?
Pros: Provides enhanced traction and stability in rugged terrains. Shortened stopping distances and better braking performance. If you are referring to slick tire size section width, 33 is much wider than 285. Would be equivalent to a 355 tire depending on sidewall profile and rim diameter.Because measurement of sidewall height of the tire is a percentage of the tread section width a 75 tire would be taller than a 70 height aspect ratio tire if the section width was the same.A 285/70R17 tire measures 32. The key difference between 285/70R17 and 33×12. R17 is width: 11.
Should I get highway tires or all-terrain tires?
All-terrain tires are designed for off-road adventures, providing excellent traction on rough roads and outdoor terrains. On the flip side, highway tires are built for on-road driving which offers a smoother ride and optimal performance on paved surfaces. All-terrain tires are built to perform on both paved roads and off-road surfaces like gravel, dirt, or light mud. That makes them a smart choice for drivers who want flexibility without switching tires seasonally or by driving condition.
