[ "Choosing the right off-road tyresA highway passenger tyre is made to grip the smooth asphalt of the road and will not provide the optimum grip on extreme surface conditions like mud, sand, rocks and dirt of uneven terrain. Therefore, if you wish to go offroading on rugged unpaved terrains like this, you will have to choose tyres suited for this driving.Off-road tyres come with a deeper tread with a spaced tread blocks that provides increased traction and a more aggressive ride. The sidewalls are built thicker and are reinforced with complex high-density rubber compounds that keep your tyre safe from punctures and cuts. The tyre is durable and sturdy, although it is slightly noisier.Here are some heavy-duty tyre suggestions for some ordinary Indian SUVs and off-roading vehicles based on different conditions. These suggestions are pretty varied and cover almost all your queries.MARUTI GYPSYThe standard non-radial tyre that Maruti gipsy comes with has a wheel rim of 15-inches. These tyres have an adequate ability for off-roading, although built inexpensively and comparatively bouncy. Swapping these tyres for radial all-terrain tyres would be the best option if you use the car for both off-roading and driving on highways. Some good options are Yokohama Geolander AT-S, Pirelli Scorpion ATR. Indian made tyres like the MRF Wanderer is also a good choice.In cases where you intend to use the car for more adventurous trips on uneven and unpaved surfaces, it is advised to go for mud-terrain tyres. These tyres dont work well on standard roads but provide an excellent and quality ride on challenging roads. Yokohama, Maxxis and BF Goodrich are some good MT tyre options.MAHINDA THARThis vehicle comes with stock tyres made for a 16-inch wheel. To upgrade your off-road driving, these cars also facilitate fitting wider tyres that improve traction.You get good and premium all-terrain tyres besides Yokohama Geolander and Goodrich TA for comparatively cheap and good performance.It is better to switch to MT(mud terrain) tyres suited for these vehicles in case of more aggressive off-road use.MAHINDRA SCORPIOThese cars come fitted with highway passenger tyres of the 16-inch rim, which are useless if you wish to go off-roading. Fitting all-terrain tyres of any brand based on your budget is a sensible option. Pirelli Scorpion ATR is a high-end choice, while MRF Wanderer is more economical. You can also upsize and get wider tyres that are suitable for the vehicle. However, right MT tyres are not recommended for daily use drivers.TATA SAFARIThey come with HT(highway terrain) stock tyres of 235/70 R16 tyre specifications. These are not advised for usage in challenging road conditions. Tyres North London provide varied options and sturdy, inexpensive AT tyres that deliver fantastic performance. However, you can switch them for any good quality AT tyres, and if it satisfies your needs, you can also choose to get broader and more sturdy tyres.TOYOTA FORTUNERThis is one of the other popular SUV cars with massive 17-inch wheels and is fitted with standard AT tyres(mostly Dunlop Grandtrek) ideal for varied usage on both highways and road surfaces that are not paved. Yokohama, Pirelli and Goodrich are some suitable options for off-road adventures. These cards work best with AT tyres. MT tyres cannot be used on-road and spoil the vehicle's versatility, and HT tyres dont perform in challenging road conditions.FORD ENDEAVOURThis is another widely used car off-road. It typically comes fitted with MRF ZVRL 16-inch HT tyres that dont perform much off-road. These tyres are comparatively quiet, but dont provide the needed grip off-road. However, Dunlop Tyres North London have a long tyre life and provide excellent grip off-road and on-road. The size and width of the tyres being used can be upgraded to 275/70 R16 Yokohama or Bridgestone tyres that provide a more suitable drive off-road. This might not work well on normal roads and reduce the acceleration, but it exponentially increases the car's power." ]
