Buying 4wd Tyres in Melbourne

Melbourne is very close to a range of 4x4 friendly driving experiences such as the Central Highlands and Otways. Dusty and rocky conditions out west and the possibility of mud in any of the mountainous areas, only a few hours drive from the city, makes 4wd vehicles very popular in Melbourne. Out a bit, and many ‘tree changers’ are using these vehicles on small acreages.

4x4 tyres in Melbourne

With the vast range of terrains in Victoria for challenging 4wd adventures, it’s hardly surprising that there are so many possibilities for expert advice and a range of tyres.
It is advised, though that 4wd and SUV owners who are mainly driving on road or on sandy type tracks stick with on road tyres on their vehicles. Driving about with off road tyres, particularly mud ones, on your 4x4 on bitumen is not a good idea, as it makes braking difficult and driving dangerous. Off road tyres are designed for frequent, harder off road applications, so have these tyres fitted only if you do primarily this type of driving.
