If you didn’t know, SUV tyres are a little different from passenger cars’ due to their larger size and heavier construction.
Disclaimer
In this guide, we’ll list out all available SUV tyres made by reputable manufacturers. Sure, there’s lots of cheap ones if you look but as Daniel says in this must-read article, better to stay away from them.
The prices are taken from several online tyre shops and are not paid recommendations.
Recommendation
SUV tyres are different in a few ways: chunkier tread patterns (to suit occasional off-roading), have a heavier load rating (because the cars carry more load), harder rubber compounds and taller sidewalls.
Balanced Tyres
They're usually good all-rounders, capable of doing some light off-roading but it's better to stick on the roads with them.
