Are all terrain tires good for highway driving?

I like the traction that all-terrain tires deliver off-road, but I’m not sure if they’re the best option for my truck because of my commute to work. Do all-terrain tires perform well when you’re driving on a highway?

When you are off the beaten path, you definitely want all the grip a tire can deliver! But as it turns out, yes, all terrain tires are actually good for highway driving as well. Here are the pros and cons of keeping your all terrain tires on in the city:
Pro
  • All-terrain tires will deliver maximum traction and are adaptable to many driving scenarios
  • The increased padding of all-terrain tires will make for a smooth, comfy ride
Con
  • All terrain tires on pavement reduce your fuel economy
  • Driving all-terrain tires on the highway will cause them to wear out faster
