All terrain tires are the best choice for people that spend half of their driving time on paved streets and the other half off-road. That’s why the most suitable vehicle for such activities — SUV — comes factory equipped with all terrain tires. Let’s dive deeper into the pros and cons and see if it makes sense to buy used all-terrain tires.
If you want to learn more about each of these characteristics, we covered them all in this article.
All terrain tires usually suit light trucks, pickup trucks, SUVs, campers and 4-wheel drive cars. These vehicles can carry more weight than, let’s say, regular sedans. The load index is a number that shows the maximum weight that a tire can support (when properly inflated). Since SUVs and pickup trucks are heavy vehicles by their nature and are often used to carry heavy things, the all-terrain tires used for them have higher than average load indexes.
Used all-terrain tires we currently have in stock have load indexes ranging from 110 (2,337 lbs per tire) to 126 (3,748 lbs per tire).
Speed rating indicates the maximum speed that the tire is made for, at the maximum weight shown by the load index. All-terrain tires work just fine on the streets and highways, but they are definitely not designed for racing and very high speeds.
Most of the used all terrain tires we have in stock at the moment have speed indexes of R (106 mph max), S (112 mph max) and T (118 mph max).

Yes. If the temperatures are not very low and the roads are relatively clean, then you can use all terrain tires. But once the temperature drops below 44 °F and the snow gets heavy, you will need to switch to winter tires.
This really depends on the roads you are planning to drive on. For tough off-road conditions mud-terrain, tires are best, and for a wide variety of surfaces all-terrain tires are great. Rugged terrain tires are a new breed that are trying to be good on all road conditions, offering great off-road capabilities while not sacrificing comfort on the road. We covered them on this page.
Yes, they are, as long as the weather conditions are not too extreme. They are not suited for heavy snow or extreme heat, but if you live in an area with moderate weather, then all-terrain tires will work just fine, including for highway driving.
