All-Terrain (AT) tyres are 70% road, 30% off-road — great for mixed use with reasonable highway comfort and noise. Mud-Terrain (MT) tyres are 30% road, 70% off-road — aggressive tread for serious mud and rocks, but louder and faster-wearing on tarmac. Most NZ drivers do better with AT unless they're regularly in deep mud.

Yes, but with trade-offs. Mud-terrain tyres are legal on highways but are louder (8-12dB more than AT), have longer braking distances on wet tarmac, and wear 20-40% faster on sealed roads. If you're 80%+ on sealed roads, all-terrain is the smarter choice.

Highway-terrain: 60,000-80,000 km. All-terrain: 50,000-70,000 km. Rugged-terrain: 40,000-60,000 km. Mud-terrain: 30,000-50,000 km. The Predator RT Trail offers a 55,000-mile (88,000 km) warranty — one of the best in the rugged-terrain category.

On sealed roads, follow your door placard (typically 32-38 PSI for 4WDs). Off-road, air down to 18-25 PSI for better traction. Always re-inflate before returning to highway speeds. Use our Tyre Pressure Calculator for guidance.

Yes — Predator is USA-engineered (Transamerica Tire Co., Memphis, TN) with proper R&D and quality control. The mileage warranties tell the story: you don't offer a 55,000-mile warranty on a tyre that won't last. We've had excellent feedback since bringing them in as exclusive NZ distributor.

Anchee = Yokohama technology at budget prices (best quality budget). Joyroad = Maximum value, dependable daily performance (lowest cost). Comforser = Directional tread specialist for serious mud/snow work (forestry, farming).

Base your choice on actual driving: 90%+ sealed = Highway-Terrain. 70-90% sealed = All-Terrain. 50-70% sealed = Rugged-Terrain. Less than 50% sealed = Mud-Terrain. Most Kiwi drivers overestimate off-road use — AT is usually the best compromise.
