Are you ready to go off-roading, but don’t know if your vehicle is ready for the challenge? If so, you would benefit from learning a bit more about the different types of tyres available, such as BF Goodrich mud terrain tyres. These aren’t just like normal tyres – they are specially designed and crafted to make driving in difficult conditions a breeze. The fact that they can also be used on normal street roads makes them a preferred choice for motorists who want to get the most out of their investment. Identifying your needs will ease the buying process, so take the following tips on board when shopping for mud terrain tyres.
The Tread Life
Having the ability to read the tyre sidewall will come in handy, because it will prevent you from choosing the wrong BF Goodrich mud terrain tyres for your vehicle. Depending on the manufacturer, ratings will differ but generally, a metric tyre size rating will be printed on the rubber. Take a look at the side of the wheel and keep this size in mind prior to shopping online or at a brick and mortar store.
The Speed Rating
Something else that you will be able to determine by looking at the tyre is the speed rating. BF Goodrich mud terrain tyres will be able to handle varying loads and will perform differently in certain weather conditions. With that being said, it is wise that you consider your driving habits first and foremost, before searching for tyres with a suitable speed rating. ’V’ is a common speed rating category and will allow for speeds of up to 150 miles per hour (mph). Anyone who has a need for speed may be better off opting for tyres with a ‘Z’ speed rating. Maximum speed for whatever vehicle you are driving can be achieved with these mud terrain tyres so basically, the further along in the alphabet you go, the heavier the load the tyres will handle!
Requirements for Wet Weather
When the roads become wet and slippery, the tyres on your car, truck or 4×4 may not have as much traction when they come into contact with the road surface. BF Goodrich mud terrain tyres will have a special tread pattern on them, making it possible to control the vehicle in the wet months. All-terrain tyres have a similar purpose, because they are crafted to improve handling, no matter what season it might be.
