How can I choose the right tyres and maintain them for off-roading and city driving in Pakistan?

Many Defender owners want tyres that can handle both rough Pakistani terrain like northern mountains o r rural roads and city/highway driving. Choosing the wrong tyres affects fuel economy, ride comfort, handling, and durability. What are the best tyre types, sizes, and maintenance practices for Defenders in Pakistan to balance off-road capability, on-road comfort, and tyre longevity?

Choosing the right tyres for Defenders in Pakistan requires balancing off-road durability and on-road comfort.

Tyre Selection

All-Terrain AT tyres

Best compromise for city and off-road driving.

Provides grip on dirt roads, mud, and highways.

Mud-Terrain MT tyres

Excellent for extreme off-road but noisy and fuel-inefficient on highways.

Highway o r touring tyres

Best for city/highway comfort but limited off-road capability.

Correct size

Stick to manufacturer-recommended size to avoid speedometer error, suspension stress, and fuel economy .

Tyre Maintenance Tips

Rotate tyres every 8,000–10,000 km.

Maintain correct tyre pressure for load and terrain.

Inspect for cuts, bulges, and embedded stones after off-roading.

Replace old tyres over 5–6 years even if tread looks good, especially in hot Pakistani climates.
