All-Terrain Tyres

These tyres are built to handle all kinds of terrain, whether it be a smooth 7-lane highway tarmac,  slippery muddy dirt, sand, or rocks, they can handle it all and are built extremely tough. They have deep grooves in their treads which help them battle any sort of terrain, but also allow road noise to bleed through to the cabin much more prominently.

Fuel efficiency also takes a hit due to higher drag coefficient and rolling resistance. 

Off-road Tyres

Types of tyres: Off-road tyres

Made specifically for off-road, these tires have deep grooves and much more pronounced treads to have greater traction and grip on the terrain. 

Unlike all-terrain tires, these are not at all good for normal terrain due to their hard rubber, which will make them wear out much faster and bring a lot of vibrations and noise to your riding experience.

Performance/Sporty Tyres

Uneven and bad roads are where will cause a setback, due to their lacking sidewall, it will make you feel every little rock, bump, and pothole you will drive over.

Winter Tyres

snow tyres

Similar to how summer tires are made for places with temperatures above 7 degrees, winter tires are made for places with a consistent 7-degree of lower temperatures. They are composed of higher natural rubber and specially designed tread with deep and tiny grooves which makes them quite flexible even in lower temperatures, aiding in grip and channeling away the snow.

As the name suggests, they are made with a special compound suited to both extremes of winters and summers and also get a deeper tread design that provides the needed grip in winters. They are also good as they mitigate the requirement of two sets of tires, and can be useful if you live in places with great contrast in seasonal weather.
