For unimproved terrain, yes. However, certainly not on wet or icy roads.

Are wider tires better than narrow ones and why?

Wider tires generally add to a more comfortable ride and better road holding.


Are thinner tires better on snow and ice than wide ones?

No wide tyres or better because the give more grip Actually wider tires don't give you more grip in snow. They simply allow more snow to pile up in front of the tire. On Ice or snow pack a wider tire will provide better grip but in deep snow the thinner tire works better. Chicago winters taught me that.


Are wider tires better than narrow ones?

It's really situation dependent. The wider the tire, the more it distributes weight, which means less ground pressure. While this is desirable in sand and mud, it's quite the opposite when driving in rain or on icy roads.


Why do tires which contain air absorb bumps better than solid rubber ones?

normal tyres have air in because the particles aren't packed as tightly as the rubber particles of the solid tyre. This means the air tyres can change shape to reduce the force of a bump. Thank You & Good Night!

What type of specs suit on roundface?

Glasses on round faces should be angular, to break the roundness of the face. Also, round faces tend to be short, so choose ones that are wider than they are deep, as deep glasses hide more of the face making it appear even shorter. Heart-shaped faces suit both round and angular glasses, but heart-shaped faces should avoid glasses that are wider at the top than they are at the bottom at all costs. Oval faces tend to be the best face shape when it comes to glasses. Round or angular are both fine, as oval faces tend to be softly rounded with high cheekbones. Square faces are angular, so oval and round glasses are better for them. Oblong faces should avoid small or narrow square-shaped glasses. Wider frames look much better than narrow frames as they break up the length of the face. Square shaped glasses only emphasise the angular features of the face.
