Chinese off-road tires

Off-road enthusiasts will easily recognize this pattern. These are the legendary BFGoodrich All Terrain KO2. This is the correct answer, but only in part. The pattern is 1 to 1, but it's the Roadcruza All Terrain RA1100. A Chinese analog! We're used to thinking that Chinese copies are low-quality. That's no longer the case. Let's take a closer look at Chinese analogs for off-road driving.

To start, of course, we should consider the model mentioned in the example. One major advantage immediately catches the eye – the extremely successful tread pattern :) . But that's not all the advantages. We can also add the availability, as we can safely forget about American tires, not in the short term, but in the long term, for sure.

The tread pattern for off-road driving is extremely important. It's responsible for such parameters as passability, resistance to aquaplaning, noise level, and even partly affects durability.

Separately, it's worth noting the TOP models for off-road driving from Chinese brands that have already gained a reputation among enthusiasts of this segment.

The leader, of course, is immediately noticeable - Maxxis. They have long been considered not only the equal of American and European brands but also often occupy leading positions. We'll add that it's deservedly so. The Maxxis AT-811 Razr and Maxxis MT-772 Razr models have the highest characteristics for passability and reliability.
Deserving separate attention due to good reviews and low prices are the models of the Windforce brand. The Windforce Catchfors M/T and Windforce Catchfors M/T II tires stand out for their excellent passability due to the developed tread pattern and the strength of the design. Moreover, the pattern is designed to prevent rapid clogging in loose soil.
 

If you want a budget option for the optimal balance of city/off-road, take a look at the Windforce Catchfors A/T II. The tread pattern may not be borrowed from a well-known manufacturer, but it's well-optimized and has a high balance of comfort on the road and traction on off-road. The manufacturer also claims a relatively high resource, which is important for this segment.
Of course, we shouldn't forget that external similarity is not everything. The ability to use multi-layering of the carcass for driving on particularly difficult road sections is also important. We wrote a separate article about this.
