Australia boasts some of the most difficult off-roading in the world, making 4WD tyres essential for drivers who are planning on experiencing such roads. Though, once you have decided on a set of 4WD tyres, the tyres will eventually require replacement due to wear, but before all that, let's explore your options.

How to choose the right tyre for your 4WD?

Aside from what the manufacturer fitted your vehicle with from the factory, there are several options for new 4WD tyres. You may also have lots of reasons why you might choose a different tyre. Factors to consider when making a decision include weight limit, size, tread type, terrain expectations, noise levels, and performance.

At Tyres R Us, we offer a wide selection of off-road tyres for 4WDs to suit everyone’s needs. Among the popular options, you’ll find highway-terrain, all-terrain, and mud-terrain.

Highway-Terrain tyres

HT tyres are your best option if you plan to drive your 4WD more on road than off road. This is because these tyres are designed to be used primarily on sealed roads.

  • Excellent handling on wet asphalt
