Wild Country Tires

The name says it all – wild country tires are for people who drive off road either for their work or for the sheer enjoyment. However if you’re mainly a highway or bitumen driver, then investing in a set of these tires may be seen, by those close to you, as a complete waste of money. Also, if you drive a vehicle that isn’t designed for driving over rough terrain – save your money　and do not put wild country tires on a standard highway car. These tires are heavy duty and although not a well known tire, there are many loyal users. Farmers often have these tires on farm vehicles, like pickup trucks and the like as their reputation for durability is synonymous with all off road drivers - farmer or otherwise.

 Wild country tires will take you and your vehicle pretty much anywhere. Their tough construction easily plows through mud or takes you over rocky surfaces and across shallow rivers. The unique tread designs enable the tire to “self-clean”. This is due an aggressive design which refuses to let mud and other muck remain on the tire. Most of the wild country tires retailed have a special, ‘S’ shaped tread which gives the tires their uniqueness. When it comes to on road or highway driving, these tires will not give you a headache from road noise.

Indeed, according to many owners, the tire gives a smooth relatively quiet ride and road handling is excellent. These tires are also ideal for drivers of Jeeps or SUVs, allowing you to, not only drive around the city but at a moments notice, go off road.

 There are various sizes and styles of the wild country tire and depending on the type of vehicle you drive, you can easily switch to these tough long lasting tires. As mentioned above, however, don’t try putting these tires on your Honda Accord. Not only will the steering and handling be difficult, you’ll also find that you are using more gasoline.

Heavy tires put more drag on the vehicle. With a small car, the engine has to work much harder against the heavy tires, thus gasoline consumption goes up. Large engines, like V8s or V6s have so much more power that tire drag is not a major issue. If you are thinking of adding new tires to your off road vehicle, consider investing in a set of wild country tires.
