Are highway terrain tires good in snow?
While not a dedicated snow tire, many H/T tires are Mud + Snow Rated, meaning that they have been tested and shown to provide good traction in light snow conditions. Features to look for in a Highway-Terrain tire are a comfortable driving experience, driving stability, good traction, and a long tire life. 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.Downsides of Highway Tires (H/T) Limited off-road capability: Highway tires are not designed for off-road use. Their shallow tread depth and less aggressive tread pattern can limit traction and handling on unpaved or rough terrain. If you frequently drive off-road, highway tires may not be the best choice.Rugged Terrain (RT) tires are positioned between All Terrain (AT) and Mud Terrain (MT) tires, offering an ideal balance of on-road comfort and off-road strength. They are specially designed for outdoor and rugged conditions, performing well on sharp gravel, rocky trails, and uneven terrain.A/T tires can be a more versatile option than those that come standard on most SUVs or light trucks. With the added traction, all-terrains give your SUV, CUV or light truck a more aggressive look without sacrificing much in the way of fuel efficiency or ride comfort.
What is the best all terrain TYRE for snow?
Of the above, the best options for driving through snow are the BFGoodrich All Terrain T/A KO2 and the Michelin CrossClimate. In addition, some other tyres worth considering are the Goodyear UltraGrip Performance Gen-1, Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 and Continental TS 850 P. If you want surefooted traction on winter’s most slippery roads, Studless Ice and Snow winter tires deliver when it comes to snow and ice traction.Their usefulness in the snow and ice is limited. While the tread design may work well in unpacked snow, the lack of siping, larger surface area, and biting edges can limit traction in packed snow, ice, and slippery conditions.
Why are BFG KO2 so popular?
The KO2s are highly regarded tires for their off-road traction, snow and ice traction, and their long-lasting tread life. After fitting them on my Jeep, here’s what I think of them off-road. If you’re on a tighter budget but need solid all-terrain performance, KO2 is still a great pick. But if you’re tackling mud, snow, or gravel more often, KO3 is the smarter long-term choice. It’s built tougher, lasts longer, and rides quieter.
