highway tires

Pavement-gripping vehicle footwear

Highway tires are vehicle tires designed for paved roads rather than off-road terrain.

They prioritize smooth ride, fuel efficiency, and longevity on asphalt over traction in mud, sand, or rocks.

Most passenger cars and many SUVs come equipped with highway tires: I swapped my highway tires for all-terrains before the camping trip.
