SUV Tyres: Built for Endurance

As an SUV driver, you ask a lot of your vehicle. You might drive on city roads one day, and tow a caravan on a bush track the next. To handle varied use, you need appropriate tyres.

Thankfully, Jim’s Mobile Tyres stock some of the best SUV tyres in Australia, offering a range of products from reputable brands. We can recommend the best tyres for your needs, and take care of the tyre fitting at a location of your choice, whether that be your home, workplace or roadside.

What Makes SUV Tyres Different?

Sport utility vehicles (SUVs) tend to be taller and heavier than passenger vehicles, and have  a higher centre of gravity. They’re designed to tackle rough terrain, and carry or tow heavy loads. Hence, their tyres need to match their larger size, height, load capacity and the unpredictable terrain they drive on.

Common Features of SUV tyres include:

• Tall sidewalls and strong construction: These features help SUV tyres absorb bumps, support heavy loads and handle the demands of driving on sealed roads as well as off road tracks.
• Large diameter: SUVs require wheels between 17 and 22 inches, while many passenger cars have smaller wheels, of 15 to 18-inches.
• Wide tread and enhanced grip: A wide tread pattern helps SUV tyres maintain greater road contact, which improves traction, stability and control. Combined with advanced tread designs and rubber compounds, these tyres can handle a range of demanding conditions.
• High load rating: SUV tyres are built to support the weight of the vehicle, passengers and cargo.

How to Choose SUV Tyres

If you need to buy SUV tyres, here are some options to consider:

• Highway Terrain (HT) tyres: These are your best choice if you mostly drive on sealed roads. They offer good traction, enduring performance and a quiet, comfortable ride.
• All-Terrain (AT) tyres: AT tyres offer reliable handling on sealed roads, as well as improved traction on loose surfaces. They’re for those who need to drive on a mix of surfaces.
• Mud Terrain tyres: Mud tyres provide excellent traction on challenging off-road terrain. Their aggressive tread patterns provide grip on a range of slippery surfaces, like mud, sand, dirt and gravel. They won’t be the right choice if you mainly drive on city roads as they are a little less fuel efficient, so if you opt for mud tyres, you might need to swap them over with regular tyres, when needed.
