What are the differences between off road tires and regular tires?
The differences are the size and the purpose. Regular tires are made to grip the asphalt, and also fitted with grooves to push water away, keeping it from hydroplaning. The off road tires are thicker, and the grooves are much deeper, giving it the ability to have good traction in the dirt and rocks.

Why do cars that go off- road have cleeper grooves cut into their tires than road cars?
When it rains, cars sometimes hydroplane because the water underneath the tires supports the weight of the car and causes it to loose traction. Grooves give another channel for water to escape. As for off-road cars, the tire grooves are not much deeper rather they are larger and have more room to go up and down. In my Jeep Wrangler, the tire grooves are the same depth as an Acura TL and a Honda minivan. Maybe on other off-road cars they help the car travel through gravel, rock, sand, and snow to gain more traction.

Gun barrel rifling?
RIFLED firearms are those that have a method of making the bullet spin when fired. This makes for a much more accurate projectile. The oldest and most common means of doing this is buty cutting spiral grooves on the inside of the barrel. These grooves grip the bullet, causing it to spin as it passes up the barrel. The grooves are known as rifling.
