Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Highway tyres
What is the difference between a highway tyre and a standard passenger tyre?
Highway terrain (HT) tyres are engineered for larger SUVs and light trucks that travel predominantly on paved roads. They share the smooth, continuous-rib tread of a passenger tyre but with a higher load rating and more robust sidewall construction. They deliver a quieter, more comfortable ride than AT or MT tyres while offering better load-carrying capacity than a standard passenger tyre.
How often should I check tyre pressure on highway tyres?
We recommend checking cold tyre pressure every two weeks or before any long journey. Heat builds up in highway tyres at sustained speeds, increasing pressure by 4–6 PSI — this is normal and you should not deflate hot tyres. Always measure pressure after the vehicle has been stationary for at least 3 hours for an accurate cold reading.
Do highway tyres perform well on Kenyan unpaved roads?
Highway tyres are designed for paved surfaces and can handle the occasional gravel detour, but they are not suited to rough murram tracks, river crossings, or sustained off-road use. Their shallower tread grooves and less aggressive compound will wear rapidly on abrasive surfaces and provide insufficient traction in mud. For mixed-terrain use, we recommend an all-terrain tyre instead.
What is the typical lifespan of a highway tyre?
With correct inflation, regular rotation, and proper alignment, quality highway tyres typically last 60,000–80,000 km on Kenyan paved roads. Some premium brands like Michelin and Bridgestone can exceed 100,000 km. We recommend replacement when tread depth falls below 3 mm for optimal wet-weather safety.
Can I use highway tyres in the Kenyan rainy season?
Absolutely — highway tyres are well-suited to the Kenyan long and short rains. Their wide circumferential grooves are specifically designed to evacuate water quickly and prevent aquaplaning. Premium highway tyres feature advanced silica compounds that maintain excellent wet grip. Ensure tread depth is above 3 mm for confident wet-weather driving.
