Are All-Season Tires Good for SUV and CUVs?
All-Season tires are an excellent and versatile choice for SUV or CUV vehicles, particularly in regions that do not experience severe weather. All-Season tires have features that allow them to perform well on both wet driving surfaces and hot, dry roads. While other types of SUV/CUV tires such as All-Terrain or Mud-Terrain tires can give a noisy and bumpy ride, a well-designed All-Season tire will provide a quieter, smoother ride, stable handling, and still maintain good traction for driving on paved roads.
Are All-Season Tires Good in Snow?
Many All-Season tires are M+S Rated (Mud and Snow), which means that the tires have been tested and shown to give good traction on packed mud or snow. However, In severe snow, ice, or soupy mud, Severe Snow Rated tires or chains should be used.
Choosing All-Season Tires for SUVs and CUVs
SUVs and CUVs are larger and heavier than smaller passenger vehicles, so make sure that the tires you choose are the correct size and load range/ply rating for your vehicle. SUV/CUV owners often do lots of highway driving, so it’s important to purchase tires that are rated for driving at highway speeds. It’s also important to choose a tire with good traction in wet or dry conditions, and that handles well at higher speeds.
The Voyager SV Checks All the Boxes
Groundspeed’s Voyager SV is one of the best choices for an All-Season tire for SUVs and CUVs. Designed for SUVs and CUVs with speed ratings up to T, H & V, it’s highly efficient at highway speeds. The tire’s center control rib and grip-optimized tread give extra grip and control during high speed driving, and specially designed tread grooves enhance braking performance.
The Voyager SV has larger shoulders to give the perfect amount of tread contact with the driving surface to improve stability and cornering. The shoulders also feature a 3D groove design that improves dry braking performance and ensures even tread wear, prolonging tire life. Large blocks on the tire’s asymmetrical tread pattern enhance dry grip handling even further,
This tire excels in wet weather too, with an asymmetrical tread pattern that resists wet skidding, and wet traction grooves engineered to quickly evacuate water for exceptional cornering and handling in wet conditions. The Voyager SV is Mud + Snow Rated by the Tire Manufacturer’s Association, indicating that it has been tested for good traction in packed snow and mud, and maintains excellent traction.
