Sydney 4wd Tyre Buying Tips

Sydney is Australias most populated and urban city, so the bulk of four wheel driving here tends to be on road. This means that SUV�s and 4x4�s in the beautiful city called the Harbour city because it curls around its famous harbour, are mainly fitted with on road tyres and wheels. Don�t be fooled, though into thinking that this means that on road tyres are all you can buy here.

4x4 tyres in Sydney

Sydney isnn't closely located near to many 4x4 friendly driving experiences, but it is still easily within a day of some conditions that will test off road tyres. The Blue Mountains that surround the city are the first testing area for 4x4's and beyond that a few hours driving will reach desert, beaches and other natural environments.

It is important for Sydneysiders to be aware, though, that on road tyres are by far the best option in urban areas. 4wd owners who rarely leave the bitumen really need to be getting about with on road tyres fitted, as off roaders, particularly mud tyres, don�t have the grip necessary for safe braking and handling on bitumen.
