Can AT Tires Be Used for Long-Distance High-Speed Driving?

[DeAdam]

AT tires can be used for long-distance high-speed driving. AT tires refer to all-terrain tires, which are professional off-road tires. AT tires have rougher treads, larger gaps between tread lines, and stronger sidewalls. Therefore, AT tires perform much better than HT tires on unpaved roads. The tread pattern on the tire crown is one of the main distinguishing factors for tire types. AT tires primarily feature block-shaped horizontal tread patterns, and their longitudinal patterns are not as regular as those of HT standard highway tires. This design enhances traction on unpaved surfaces. In simpler terms, the gaps between the block-shaped protrusions help compress uneven surfaces like soil, sand, or snow. AT tires are versatile tires designed for outdoor use. The longitudinal lines of AT tires consist of densely packed but moderately spaced block-shaped protrusions, while the longitudinal grooves remain consistent or coherent. The dense horizontal protrusions help anchor the compressed protrusions to the ground, aiding in overcoming difficult terrain. When driving on wet roads, water on the surface is captured by the horizontal grooves and expelled from the wheel by the centrifugal force generated by the wheel's rotation through the longitudinal grooves. AT tires can handle both off-road and high-speed driving, but they are prone to slipping on wet surfaces. After modification, it is important to control the driving speed.
