All-terrain tires are typically used on SUVs [sport utility vehicles] and light trucks. These tires often have stiffer sidewalls for greater resistance against puncture when traveling off-road. [Their] tread patterns offer wider spacing than all-season tires to remove mud from the tread. Within the all-terrain category, many of the tires available are designed primarily for on-road use, particularly all-terrain tires that are originally sold with the vehicle. 4, record 1, English, - all%2Dterrain%20tire
