What is the difference between HT tires and AT tires?

[OLevi]

AT tires are all-terrain tires, which are designed to balance both off-road and on-road performance. MT tires are mud tires, and the difference between them and AT tires is that MT tires are a more extreme type of off-road tire, heavily favoring muddy terrain and unsuitable for driving in northern regions where most seasons are dry. HT tires are highway tires, designed for on-road driving. Below are the relevant introductions: 1. Characteristics of HT highway tires: HT tires have relatively soft sidewalls and finer tread patterns, offering excellent quietness and comfort. They perform exceptionally well on paved roads and have light off-road capabilities but are not suitable for high-intensity off-roading. 2. Characteristics of AT all-terrain tires: AT tires are designed to be more versatile than HT tires. The tread patterns of AT tires are more rugged, and the spacing between the tread blocks is slightly larger than that of HT tires. The downside of this design is reduced on-road performance and increased noise, but AT tires offer better durability and traction on unpaved surfaces compared to HT highway tires.
