  • All-Terrain Tires Must Work Well In Every Possible Driving Scenario

    The most difficult tire to create is arguably the all-terrain tire. In terms of the various styles of SUV & Truck tires, the all-terrain is a bit of a blend between a tire dedicated almost entirely for on-road driving and a tire dedicated almost entirely for off-road driving. With tires, specialization is the name of the game. It’s much easier to make tires that perform well for very specific scenarios, but the Dynapro AT2 Xtreme needs to do absolutely everything. It’s difficult to overstate how challenging this is. We’ll discuss the tire compound, tire structure, and tread design, to learn how to optimize a tire for all environments.

    Being a long time off roader, we also air down our tires in rock so as to make them less likely to be punctured. Airing down also makes the ride more comfortable on washboards as it helps with the absorption of bumps that vibrate the vehicle terribly. Really, anytime we go off-roading we air down.

    BFG factory employee here. The customer expectations for NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Handling) for AT tires has increased exponentially in recent years. The KO2 was tweaked to improve it over the years, but needed a design step change for KO3 deployment.
    The company launched the Trail Terrain line to provide a more road-friendly option for consumers who honestly only want occasional/mild off-road use.
    Edit: almost forgot. OEM’s HAVE to improve fuel economy. It is FAR easier to get 1-2% less rolling resistance than increase ICE efficiency or vehicle aero by the same amount. This is why silica tread compounds have been proliferated (but are a nightmare to mix/extrude).

    I remember reading an article about rubber compounds having about 20C of optimal operational range.
    +10 - +30C for summer tires.
    -10 - +10C for studded winter tires.
    -20 - 0C for studless winter tires.
    Temperatures bellow optimal means the tire get to stiff with more slippage as a result, and above means to soft with higher wear.

    I've only ran All-Terrain tires on my truck since I bought it since it sees a little bit of both on and off-road driving. I will say that even some of the more affordable options fit the intended role of such type of tire very well.
    The tires I currently have on my truck are the General Grabber A/Tx. The tread pattern is very similar to the BF Goodrich KO series, but actually has more sipes per tread. On-road, the impact on fuel economy hasn't been very noticeable, particularly with highway driving. As for noise, I have not noticed any excessive noise from the tires (granted, my truck's exhaust setup is very loud, so the difference between this A/T vs a highway tire is likely maske by the exhaust).
    Off-road, they've performed very well, even in mud. My buddy, who goes off-roading more regularly than I do and recommended the Generals to me, reported that they handled snow exceptionally when he had to drive home from one of his adventures in a snowstorm. In fact, he actually prefers the General A/Tx over the Bf Goodrich.
    All of that being said, it's not surprising how much thought has to be put into the design process of this type of tire.

  • @spring9603
    @spring9603 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'd argue that tire noise is not so much related to air pumping but more to tire/compound rigidity. On tire contact with the road during rolling, the surface of the tire comes into contact aggressively with the asphalt which generates vibration and mechanical stress. When the compound is hard, it won't absorb that stress and attenuate it but rather will distribute the vibration along the surface of the tire and further will be transmitted into the air surrounding the tire and finally will reach the ear.
    On the other hand, when a soft compound tire comes into contact with the asphalt, the mechanical stress and vibrations generated by the impact will be absorbed by the soft compound and the amount of remaining vibration which will be transmitted into the air around will be much less, resulting in less noise.
    What I say is that you can have identical tires when it comes to tread but different compounds and the noise they make would be very different.
    This can be best tested in void having a microphone inside the tire. The harder tire will generate higher noise inside the tire even though outside the tire is no air: just void.

    You could also elaborate on how the tread blocks can “lock” to create extra stiffness in certain motions.

    I watched another video that showed tire deformation over small rocks. The less wide tires seemed to deform more than wide tires.
    I bought a diesel truck 09 gmc two years ago that came with new mud terrain tires and 18” non stock rims. They where very loud and the cabin noise and vibrations where horrible. I swapped them out before they needed to be replaced because it was very uncomfortable with vibrations and noise. I got new rims and tires. 16” rims the smallest rim that fits and 33” tires that are 9” wide. Toyo ATs. My family enjoys riding in the truck now. It’s quite and the vibrations are all gone. These tires at 60psi deform and the tire soaks up little bumps. Night and day between 18” rims with muds and 16” rim with ATs. With the new set up there is a bulge where the tire meets the road adding to the tire deforming and complying. So nice. It changed the whole experience. I barely drive it. It’s just used to tow a boat or truck needed trips.

      @@ALMX5DP I do not, had to get new tires for my truck and researched all the available all terrains and for the cost, 70k mileage warranty, 3 peak rated and weight I thought the Dynapros were the best option. A buddy that owns a repair shop said that he's seen guys with 80-100k miles on these. I wanted the xtreme for more tread depth as in Wisconsin we get a decent amount of snow and as soon as most tires get below 5-6/32" they get pretty sketchy.

      @@4Cabin They are louder than factory but I find all terrains get a smidge quieter as you put some miles on them. I had factory junk Bridgestone tires that only lasted 30k which were definitely quiet and smooth but offered little off road traction so these are louder/stiffer but still not bad. Factory size was 275/55R20 (41ish pounds) and I went up to 275/60R20 (43ish pounds). Fuel econ is maybe 0.5-1mpg less.

      @@Hangovna Thanks. My 2022 GMC Sierra came with the Bridgestone Duller AT RHS. They are smooth and quiet but really lack off road capability and are not good at all in snow/slush conditions. Living in New Hampshire these lacking capabilities are a real problem. So thats why iI interested in 3PMS rated AT tires like the AT2 Extreme. I'm also considering the new Kumho AT52, Vredestein AT, BFG Trail Terrain, Hercules ATX Journey and the Nokian Outpost AT. There are others but I also dont want tire noise to become an issue since we use the truck for long road trips.

      i don't understand why you Americans don't change to winter tyres when temperatures drop down to freezing. In Sweden it is the law. That's why you never see those winter videos with cars slipping down frozen streets like pinball balls from Sweden. Changing to winter tyres when necessary saves money by reducing accidents significantly.

    Tires have come so far in my lifetime. I remember going on family vacations 60 years ago and there were almost always tire failures. It probably didn't help that my dad packed the station wagon to the gills, put 2 or 3 canoes on the roof, a boat and trailer out back and drove like a bat out of hell.
    Anyway, my relevant comment is I have had several All Terrain tires that were remarkably quiet. The Pirelli Scorpion tires on my RAM 1500 are basically inaudible. Now there is a fair amount of wind noise but that's typical for the vehicles that use All Terrain tires.

      Usually the 2/32” nubs are wear indicators. Most modern tires have them since the 80’s.
      When 2/32 tread depth is all that remains, it’s time to replace the tire.

    My FX4 Ranger came with Hankoook Dynapro AT tires, and they were absolute trash offroad. The OEM tires have one job, and that's to last until the warranty period for wearables is over and be as light as possible for fuel economy. I replaced them with BFG All Terrain TA KO2's which are much heavier, but a significantly better on and offroad tire for my application.

      My F-150 had the at-m tires. I was fairly impressed with them they did fine in deep water with a sand bottom, light off road in wet grass and snow performance was adequate. I would describe those tires as jack of all trades master of none all of those situations I went in the tires did just okay not bad but not really good either. I replaced those tires after 58k miles and six years of service because of excessive cracking and 5/32nds is when I yard tires. Replaced them with the Firestone destination x/t which seem to be doing fine for my application.

    The difficulty becomes apparent for those that have ran several diiferent A/T's as the best are truly impressive [as all-arounders] while the worst have several dramatic flaws like short tread life, loud like M/T's, not being decent on OR off-road, bad in snow/ice, and so on.
    Very happy with my Falken Wildpeak AT3/W on 18 Ram 1500. I have the P's and not LT which were cheaper, lighter, softer riding, and just more practical for my usage as a daily driver, mostly unloaded and infrequent towing but plenty off-road occasions.
