Tyres do not perform the same when new. As a tyre wears and the tread depth reduces, the difference in performance will change. This is because tyre performance is affected by many individual characteristics; casing design, materials used, rubber compounds, tread design, shape of grooves and sipes. Modern tyre technology makes it possible to provide high levels of performance and grip from new, and through all of the tyre’s life down to the legal tread wear limit.

But let’s make no mistake about this - Jeeps are cool and the Wrangler sits on the throne of that coolness scale. But the Wrangler is definitely not the most luxurious thing on four wheels.
