What is the quietest all-terrain tire?
Bridgestone Duelers are about the quietest AT tires out there. Had them on several vehicles that didn’t see much more than a dirt road or a grassy yard. They wear good, and have good traction on wet/slick roads. Usually noise isn’t a concern if you’re after AT tires. Road Noise: Experiences with road noise are mixed. Some users find Toyo tires to be quiet, even with aggressive tread patterns, while others report increased noise levels as the tires age.On paved roads, all-terrain tires often produce more road noise and offer a rougher ride than dedicated road tires. Due to their heavier tread patterns, they can also have slightly lower fuel efficiency.
Should I get highway or all-terrain tires?
Weather Conditions Rain: H/T tires often perform better on wet roads due to optimized grooves. Snow & Ice: Some A/T tires are “Three Peak Mountain Snowflake” rated, providing excellent winter traction. Mild Conditions: Either can perform well depending on specific tire features. 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.WP Factory Xtreme RT Tire These tires are more aggressive than an all-terrain but are still lighter than a mud terrain and offer both ride comfort on the open road and rugged traction out on the trail.
Do all-terrain tires affect fuel economy?
Additional energy is required to motivate that bulky mud-terrain tread to get (and keep) rolling, and so a drop in fuel economy is almost inevitable. Test data demonstrates that a ~3% drop in fuel economy is possible when comparing all-terrain tires to all-season truck/SUV tires. Tread design can have a much greater effect on gas mileage. For example, a really aggressive, heavy all-terrain tire can cause a vehicle to get 1 to 2 mpg less than it would with an ultra-fuel-efficient highway or street tire.
