You’ve seen the names—RT, AT, HT. And if you’re not deep into the off-road world, it can get confusing fast.
So let’s break it down.
What Is an RT Tire?
RT stands for “Rugged Terrain.” It’s a hybrid tire that blends highway comfort with off-road capability. Think of it as the middle ground between AT and HT tires.
Best For: Weekend adventures, mixed terrain driving, daily drivers who camp or trail occasionally.
What Is an AT Tire?
AT stands for “All Terrain.” These tires are more aggressive and better suited for loose surfaces, mud, or tougher conditions—but they can be louder and wear faster on pavement.
Best For: More serious off-roading, snow-covered trails, or people who live on rural/unpaved roads.
What Is an HT Tire?
HT stands for “Highway Terrain.” These are smooth, quiet, and fuel-efficient tires ideal for city and highway driving—but they lack off-road capability and rugged tread design.
Best For: Daily commutes, paved roads, and drivers who stay mostly on-road.
So Which Is Right for Summer?
If you’re planning camping trips, light trail drives, or cottage weekends in Ontario, B.C., or Quebec—the RoadX RXQuest R/T is probably your best bet.
It gives you off-road capability without the noise and wear of an AT. Plus, it looks tough enough to turn heads at the gas station. But don’t worry – there’s a tire at RoadX that can fit more than just your camping trip needs.
