The Difference Between Off-road Tires And Road Tires

1. The off-road tread pattern grooves are wide and deep, the tread contact area is small, and the grip is large. The characteristic of the transverse pattern is that the tread is horizontally continuous and longitudinally interrupted, and is suitable for medium and heavy trucks with large traction on hard roads. The tangential force between the tread pattern and the road surface is smaller than that of off-road vehicle tires.
2. Off-road tires have high contact pressure and rolling resistance. Long-term driving on good hard roads will increase tire wear, increase fuel consumption, and cause severe vibrations in the vehicle. Therefore, they are suitable for rough roads, soft dirt roads and areas without roads.
