Terrain · X/T
The far end of the scale.
Extreme-terrain is the most aggressive tread we list. It is a specialist tyre for serious low-range work, and expect it to ask more of you on sealed roads than anything else here.
Where X/T sits on the scale
Extreme-Terrain
The most aggressive tread we list — a specialist, not an everyday tyre.
The terrain scale
From bitumen to the rough stuff.
Terrain types, ordered by how much time you spend off sealed roads. The rule of thumb: the more time off-road, the further along the scale you go — and the more noise and wear you accept for the grip.
Counts are the tyres listed in each terrain type right now. Types marked “Coming soon” have nothing listed yet.
Is it right for you?
What Extreme-Terrain gives you — and what it costs.
Expect the most road noise, the highest fuel use and the fastest wear of any tyre here — that is the deal an extreme-terrain makes.
The most aggressive tread we list. Built for serious low-range work, where a mud-terrain is already at its limit.
It is a specialist. Unless your driving genuinely demands it, a mud- or rugged-terrain will be the better everyday tyre.
Purpose-built off-road vehicles doing serious low-range work — rarely the right tyre for a daily driver.

Common questions
About extreme-terrain
What does X/T actually mean? +
Extreme terrain — the most aggressive tread we list, built for serious low-range off-road work.
Is an X/T sensible as a daily tyre? +
Rarely. Expect it to be the loudest, thirstiest and fastest-wearing tyre here on sealed roads. Unless your driving genuinely demands it, a mud- or rugged-terrain is easier to live with.
Why do some sizes show "Price on request"? +
That size is listed but has no published price yet. Send the request and we will come back with a GST-inclusive quote for it.
