It all depend on:
Different Terrains, Different Applications (Utility vs. Sport), Different Vehicles, Different Tires (& Wheels), and Different Pressures.
Can the enthusiasts use the SUV tire for off-road sports?
What type of general purpose LTR should the end users get for the terrain types of A/T, AT / MT Hybrid, M/T and 3PMSF? And what is the proper inflation pressure?
What type of racing LTR should the racers get for TT / Motto, MX, XC, Baja 1000, Dakar Rally, King of The Hammers? And what is the right inflation pressure to the podium?

We have the answers and we have the right tire.

Dr. TK Tio

Tyre Guru TKTio’s design journey started from ATV to UTV and then LTR: that is from off-road to on-road and then off-road. And from lightweight ATV of about 450 lbs (204kg) to UTV of about 2000 lbs (907kg), he now has 5700 lbs (2585kg) Rubicon for testing his designs. Heavy weight class OTR/TBR are his dream that is in line with his constant thinking of bigger and yet bigger tires as marvels of tire engineering. In an interview to Tyre Asia, he speaks of his tire design journey and the future of tire science.

At every major global tyre events and technology conferences, Dr TK Tio will certainly be present. The veteran tyre designer with a PhD in engineering physics is a hands-on, butts-on innovator who runs a successful industrial consultancy for the tyre industry worldwide.

In an interview to Tire Asia he speaks of the challenges in the science and art of designing the next generation innovative tires. He also spoke about the scientific testing of various kinds of Utility Task Vehicle or Utility Terrain Vehicle tires, All Terrain Vehicle and Light Truck All­Terrain tires for drivers who want to go wherever the road leads from main streets to the woods. In this context, he said the US Department of Transportation (DoT) and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) have no regulation on LTR for off-road use.

“The scientific tire-terrain test is still in the early mobility test using a single wheel terramechanics test rig on controlled terrain bed,” he said adding that the tyre design journey will never end as it is a continuum. Read the original article
