Are tires all the same? No, there are suitable tires for different vehicle types.
When choosing their vehicle tires, SUV owners should pay attention to tires specially developed for this type of vehicle and not resort to car tires. Tire manufacturer Goodyear points this out. Such SUV specialists have, for example, a stronger cover layer, firmer belt material and a more robust bottom rubber compared to a car tire. The carcass is better protected against damage caused by small stones, for example, that can get stuck in the profile when driving on gravel. A more stable side wall also protects the tire from damage. In addition, SUV tires have more gripping edges, so that they develop better traction when towing a trailer, for example on wet meadows.
