315/75 R16 — what to know before fitting
Off-road-rated tyres trade tarmac performance for capability. If 80%+ of your miles are on the road, a highway tyre or a mild A/T is the right call — full M/T compounds are noisy, wear quickly, and reduce wet braking distance noticeably. Tell us how the vehicle is used and we'll match the pattern honestly.
