The short answer

The Grand Tourer H/T is Joyroad's highway tyre for SUVs, in three sizes on 17 and 18 inch wheels. Graded 440 A A and B for fuel efficiency: a quiet, economical tyre built to last.

  • Treadwear 440, against a median of 400 for the tyres we inspect in our workshop.
  • B for fuel efficiency on the current EU registry, for lower rolling resistance.
  • Four wide grooves for grip and braking in the wet, and variable pitch blocks for a quiet cabin.
  • Five star reviews from every Grand Tourer H/T buyer who has left one on Judge.me.
  • Going off the seal every week? The Adventure A/T is the Joyroad all terrain.

What the Grand Tourer H/T is built to do

Carry an SUV quietly and economically down the highway, and keep it sure footed in the wet.

The Grand Tourer H/T is built for the SUV that does its kilometres on the seal. Four wide grooves and open transverse channels move water out from under the tyre for traction and braking in the wet, a wide tread keeps plenty of rubber on the road, variable pitch blocks keep the cabin quiet, and a sidewall protection layer stands up to punctures and impact damage. Every size is graded 440 A A, and it comes in 215/60R17 96H, 225/55R18 98V and 265/60R18 110H.

Speed and load The speed ratings are H (210 km/h) and V (240 km/h), and every size is a standard load tyre. Match or beat the load index and the speed letter on your door placard, and keep both tyres on an axle the same.

How the Grand Tourer H/T works

Every part of the Grand Tourer H/T has a job to do. Here is what each one does for you on the highway.

Four grooves for the wet

Four wide grooves run right around the Grand Tourer H/T, and open transverse channels sweep out from them to the shoulders. Together they give water a fast way out from under the tread, so the rubber stays pressed onto the road instead of riding up on a film of water. That is where the grip and the braking on a wet highway come from, at the speeds an SUV actually travels.

Quiet in the cabin

Tyre noise comes from the tread blocks meeting the road thousands of times a minute. Joyroad varies the length of the Grand Tourer H/T's blocks, so the sound each one makes lands at a different pitch and never builds into one drone. On the current EU registry it measures 71 to 72 decibels outside the car. The result is a quiet, settled cabin on a long highway run.

Easy rolling, fuel saved

On the current EU registry the Grand Tourer H/T is graded B for fuel efficiency, on a scale from A to E. That grade measures rolling resistance: the less energy a tyre soaks up as it rolls, the less fuel the engine burns to push it, on every trip. For an SUV that covers big kilometres on the open road, that saving adds up over the life of the set.

Tread that lasts

Every Grand Tourer H/T size is graded 440 for treadwear, against a median of 400 for the tyres we inspect in our workshop, and Joyroad's catalogue gives it 7.7 mm of tread when new. A wide tread with a high groove to sipe ratio spreads the load across plenty of rubber. Keep the pressures right and rotate the set, and that grade turns into more kilometres between sets.

How the Grand Tourer H/T is graded

440Treadwear grade
BFuel efficiency on the EU registry
A / ATraction and temperature

Every one of the three Grand Tourer H/T sizes carries the same UTQG grade: 440 for treadwear, A for traction and A for temperature. A is the highest temperature grade there is, and the median treadwear for all the tyres that come through our workshop is 400, so at 440 the Grand Tourer H/T is built to outlast it. The full numbers are in our low profile tyre guide.

On the current EU registry it is graded B for fuel efficiency and C for wet grip, and measures 71 to 72 decibels. Joyroad's catalogue gives it 7.7 mm of tread when new, which leaves 6.2 mm to use before the 1.5 mm legal minimum in our WOF tyre guide.

Where the Grand Tourer H/T fits and where it does not

Good for

  • SUVs on 17 and 18 inch wheels that spend their life on the seal
  • Long highway runs, with a quiet cabin and B for fuel efficiency
  • Drivers who want a tyre that lasts, graded 440 against a typical 400
  • Simple rotation, because a symmetrical tyre can go on any corner

Better served by another tyre

  • Farm tracks, beach access and regular gravel. See the Adventure A/T
  • Cars on low profile wheels. See the Sport RX6

Is it the right tyre

What is a highway terrain tyre?

A tyre built for the sealed road: a tread of ribs and grooves laid out for grip in the wet, a quiet ride and long wear at open road speed, on the heavier SUVs that need the load ratings. It suits an SUV that spends its life on the seal. Our highway terrain guide covers the choice in full.

Is the Grand Tourer H/T any good?

Yes, and the grades prove it. Every size is graded 440 A A: a treadwear of 440 against a median of 400 for the tyres we inspect in our workshop, and A is the top temperature grade there is. On the current EU registry it is graded B for fuel efficiency, and every review our buyers have left on Judge.me is five stars. We import Joyroad ourselves and fit it in our own Te Puke workshop.

Can it handle a gravel road?

A gravel road to the bach or the farm gate, yes: a sidewall protection layer is built in to stand up to punctures and impact damage. It is a highway tyre, though, so for regular farm tracks, beach access or anything rough, the Adventure A/T is the tyre for the job.
Ratings and sizes

What does 440 A A mean?

It is the Uniform Tire Quality Grade, moulded into the sidewall of tyres sold in the United States. 440 is treadwear, graded against a reference tyre: the higher the number, the longer the tread is built to last, and it compares best within a brand. The first A is traction, from a braking test on a wet road. The second A is temperature, the tyre's resistance to heat at speed, and A is the top grade there.

What are its European label grades?

On the current EU tyre label registry every Grand Tourer H/T size is graded B for fuel efficiency and C for wet grip, and measures 71 to 72 decibels outside the car. The label grades each from A to E, A the best, and a B for fuel means lower rolling resistance, which is fuel saved on every trip. New Zealand has no tyre label scheme of its own, which is something we have petitioned Parliament to change.

What load and speed rating do I need?

Match or beat the figures on your door placard. Across the Grand Tourer H/T the load index runs from 96 to 110, which is 710 kg to 1,060 kg per tyre, and the speed ratings are H (210 km/h) and V (240 km/h). Our load rating guide explains the numbers and the speed rating guide covers how to choose.

Which way round does it go?

Any way. The Grand Tourer H/T tread is symmetrical and not directional, so a tyre can go on any corner and be rotated front to back or across the vehicle. Our tread pattern guide shows how to tell the types apart.
Buying

Grand Tourer H/T or Adventure A/T?

Go by the road. The Grand Tourer H/T is the highway tyre, for the SUV that lives on the seal and wants a quiet, economical ride. The Adventure A/T is the light truck all terrain, for the ute or 4WD that goes off the seal every week. Tell us the vehicle and what it does and we will say which.

Can you fit them for me?

Yes. Every size has a fitted and balanced option at our Te Puke workshop. Choose it on the tyre's own page, then book a time online.

Who makes Joyroad tyres?

Zhongyi Rubber Co., Ltd., in Guangrao County, Shandong, China: the maker named on every Joyroad entry in the European Union's tyre label registry. We import the range ourselves, by the container, and the whole of it is on our Joyroad page.

  • European label grades: the current entry for each size in the EU tyre label registry (EPREL), read 24 September 2026. The registry is updated when a maker revises a tyre, so the label on a tyre made earlier can differ
  • Median treadwear of 400 for the tyres we inspect: our own workshop inspection records, published in the low profile tyre guide
  • The grooves, the pitch design and the sidewall protection layer: Joyroad's own description of the Grand Tourer H/T, in its catalogue and on our listings
  • The 1.5 mm legal minimum: Land Transport Rule: Tyres and Wheels 2001, as set out in our WOF tyre guide
  • Speed symbol values and kilograms for each load index: the standard tables
  • Customer reviews: Judge.me, read 25 September 2026

European labels apply to European market sizes. New Zealand has no tyre labelling scheme, so the grades above are context rather than a local standard.
