Built for the Sand: Reviewing Botswana’s Best Off-Road Tires

We test 5 top brands where it counts — in the thick of Botswana’s terrain

We pitted five top-rated off-road tires against Botswana’s harshest terrains — from dune fields to rocky ravines. Brands included BFGoodrich, Cooper Discoverer, and local favourite SafariTrack. Our tests were conducted in real-event conditions during filming sessions at Ghanzi and Khutse Game Reserve.

This comprehensive review includes tread performance, sidewall durability, heat resistance, and noise level on gravel. We also interviewed mechanics, drivers, and rally racers to get a full 360° perspective. Spoiler: the results might surprise you.
