Renowned off-roading expert and enthusiast Smith Garry shares his insight on recent auto trends, saying, "Off-roading is not just a hobby today, it's a way of life. And having the right tires is essential to satisfying that lifestyle."

Smith says that as people go on weekend drives and explore extreme terrains, there's a growing demand for off-road tires and mud tires for trucks. These tires are designed to provide reliable grip and control in areas like muddy trails, mountain passes, jungle tracks and construction zones.

Talking about off-road tires, Smith explains, “These tires are specially designed for people who drive on unpaved or uneven surfaces. Their tread pattern is aggressive, which reduces slippage and improves traction.”

On the other hand, mud tires for trucks are for people who use heavy-duty vehicles off-road and in rough terrain. Whether your truck is for adventure or work, mud tires ensure that performance and grip are never compromised.

“When your truck is fully loaded and you’re on a muddy or slippery track, regular tires slip. But mud tires maintain grip and make the truck feel stable,” Smith confidently explains.

Smith Garry also highlighted that today’s drivers are multitaskers. They are used in all three areas – highway, city, and off-road. That’s why they need tire solutions that work on every surface.

He says, “The real base of off-road capability starts with the tires. If the tires are not strong, the power of the truck or SUV will also fail.”

Smith believes that as the Indian driving culture becomes more adventurous and outdoor-oriented, the demand for off-road tyres and mud tyres for trucks will also grow consistently.

“Safety, grip, and confidence – all these are achieved when the tyres are according to the terrain,” Smith concludes.
