Questions you should ask yourself when upgrading to 4x4 mud terrain tyres



Asking The Right Questions For Your Tyre Upgrade?
Are you planning to buy new set of all terrains or mud tyres for pickup 4x4? Ask yourself these few sets of questions.
  1. What type of off road use will your vehicle see? Mud? Rocks? Sand? Wooded trails that have a variety of terrain?  Will you need Mud Terrain or do you want All Terrain tyres?
  2. Do you use your vehicle daily or are you a weekend warrior?  Does your car see a lot of highway miles between off-road events? If your budget allows, how about two sets? a daily driver set and a set of serious Mud Terrain Tyres?
      
  3. What's the maximum size that will fit my vehicles or do I need a lift?  Is a lift part of the tire upgrade package?  Should I consider a tyre that requires the lift and do i lift now rather than buying a set of tyres that fit now, only to spend more money later on the taller tyres? these tyres make noise on the road, how can i compensate?
  4. What sort of an effect will taller tires have on my gear ratios on the highway and on my crawl ratio off road?  Will I need to install lower differential gears in order to compensate for the taller tyres?
  5. What is the budget?  Will I be factoring in a full size spare tyre
