How to Choose Off-Road Tires?
1 Answers
Open shoulder tread patterns connected with central grip grooves can expel mud from the tread center to the shoulders, enhancing traction in muddy conditions; V-shaped groove design optimizes stress distribution in the grooves, reduces stone retention, protects the tread, and provides higher grip. Below is relevant information about tires: 1. Wear: Tires have wear indicators. There are triangle marks on the sidewall; when worn to the point indicated by the triangle mark, replacement is recommended. Inside the tread grooves, there are also raised indicators; when the raised indicators align with the tire surface, replacement is necessary. Simple punctures can be repaired without needing replacement. Bulges must be replaced. 2. Aging: Rubber oxidizes in the air, causing it to harden and reduce grip. Therefore, even unused tires will degrade over time. It is not recommended to use tires for more than 5 years from their production date. The production date is located on the tire sidewall.
