Highway: Highway tires are designed for light trucks, SUVs, and vans, prioritizing a smooth, quiet, and comfortable on-road ride. They feature a tread design optimized for long-lasting wear and stable handling at highway speeds, providing dependable all-season traction on paved surfaces. While built for durability, their focus on pavement performance means they are not intended for off-road use and lack the aggressive grip required for mud, gravel, or other rugged terrains.
Studdable: Studdable tires are a versatile option built with pre-molded holes that allow for the optional installation of small metal studs. This feature enables drivers to add aggressive mechanical grip for extreme conditions. By physically digging into the ground, studs provide unparalleled traction on hard-packed, slick, or loose surfaces where a standard tread struggles for purchase. Their use is typically intended for dedicated off-highway routes or icy winter roads, as they can be noisy on pavement and may be subject to local regulations.
Winter: Winter tires are engineered specifically for superior safety and control in cold weather conditions, including snow, slush, and ice. They use a specialized soft rubber compound that stays flexible and grippy when temperatures drop, preventing the tire from hardening like an all-season. This flexibility, combined with deep treads and thousands of small slits (sipes), allows the tire to bite into snow and ice for dramatically improved traction and braking performance. They are the essential choice for drivers who face harsh winter conditions and prioritize maximum safety.
