Choosing between MT or AT tyres requires comprehensive consideration based on actual driving scenarios. As all-terrain tyres, AT tyres feature moderate tread spacing (5-8mm), 8-10mm sidewall thickness, and a relatively soft rubber compound. They balance 80% road commuting with 20% light off-road needs, such as gravel roads or icy/snowy surfaces. Daily driving noise measures approximately 65-70 decibels, fuel consumption is only 0.5-1L/100km higher than standard tyres, and their service life reaches 50,000-60,000 kilometres, making them ideal for family SUVs or occasional road-trippers. MT tyres are engineered for extreme terrains. With tread spacing exceeding 10mm, 12-15mm sidewalls incorporating puncture-resistant materials, they achieve 30% better passability than AT tyres in deep mud or rocky terrain. However, road noise at 80km/h reaches 75-80 decibels, fuel efficiency decreases by 10%-20%, and urban commuting lifespan is limited to 30,000-40,000 kilometres. For non-intensive off-road use, AT tyres offer superior overall value by balancing economy and versatility.
