Description
- Hilo X-Terrain – Built to Conquer Mud, Gravel & Rugged Trails
- The Hilo X-Terrain is a heavy-duty mud terrain tyre engineered for off-road enthusiasts and 4WD vehicles that demand maximum traction, durability, and control in extreme environments. With its aggressive tread design and reinforced construction, this tyre thrives on New Zealand’s toughest terrains — from deep mud and soft sand to rocky backcountry tracks.
- Key Features:
- High Void Tread Design: Deep, wide voids between tread blocks self-clean mud, clay, and debris, maintaining traction in sticky and uneven off-road conditions.
- Reinforced Sidewall Protection: Robust sidewall design improves resistance against punctures, abrasions, and off-road damage — while adding a bold, rugged appearance.
- Durable Compound Technology: Made from a special blend of natural rubber, high-strength polymers, and wear-resistant materials to ensure cut resistance and a longer tread life on gravel and unsealed roads.
- Winter-Ready Traction: The advanced compound enhances grip on wet, cold, and loose terrain, delivering reliable off-road performance even in challenging winter conditions.
- Whether you're tackling muddy tracks, backcountry gravel, or winter trail adventures, the Hilo X-Terrain offers unbeatable off-road capability with the strength to get you through and back — every time.

+About Electric Vehicle Tyres
About EV Tyres
Electric vehicles often require tyres that can handle greater weight due to their heavy battery packs. They also benefit from tyres designed to withstand the increased torque and unique performance demands of EVs.
We stock both dedicated EV tyres and higher load-rated tyres that can be suitable for electric vehicles.
Important Information
Always check your vehicle's required load index before purchasing. Higher load-rated tyres (XL) offer enhanced weight capacity and durability suitable for many EVs.
If unsure about suitability for your specific EV, contact us and we'll help you find the right tyre.
Available Options (Sorted by Size Match)
Electric Vehicle Tyres
