FAQ
What are the best tyres for 4WD vehicles?
The best tyres for 4WDs depend on how you use your vehicle. All-terrain tyres are a popular choice for mixed driving — they offer decent off-road grip with on-road comfort. Mud-terrain tyres are great for serious off-roaders who need aggressive tread and durability, while highway-terrain tyres suit those who mostly drive sealed roads. Look for tyres with appropriate load ratings and sidewall strength based on what you’ll tow or carry.
How long do 4x4 tyres typically last?
Most 4x4 tyres last between 40,000 and 80,000 kilometres, depending on the type, driving conditions, and how well they're maintained. Off-road use, heavy loads, and improper inflation can reduce tyre life. Regular rotations, balancing, and pressure checks help extend the lifespan of your tyres. If your 4WD is frequently used off-road or for towing, more frequent inspections and replacements may be necessary.
Do 4x4 tyres need special fitting or balancing?
While the fitting process is similar to standard tyres, 4x4 tyres are often larger and heavier, which may require different tools or handling techniques. Balancing is particularly important for 4WDs, as off-centre or unbalanced tyres can cause vibration, uneven wear, and suspension issues. Professional fitting and balancing ensures your tyres perform properly both on-road and off.
