SnowRunner Tire Differences

By Koala

Have you ever wondered what the difference between the tires is, other than what the game tells you? Ratings of "Poor", "Average", "Good", and "Excellent" aren't very clear when there are several tires all with the same score, and nothing to tell you how they differ.

Introduction

**This guide isn't actively updated as I no longer play the game, but I do check the comments occasionally and add the new information posted. Many thanks for the work.**

Certain trucks have a variety of tire types available under each category; For example, the KRS 58 "Bandit" has 3 tires available under "Highway", "Allterrain", and "Off-road".

Take the Allterrain tires as an example, "UAD I", "UAD II", and "UAD III", all have the same in-game wheel performance of "Good", "Good", and "Average" for on-road, off-road, and mud.

Now, how do you know if there's actually any difference in these tires other than a cosmetic one? You don't, at least not as far as the game is concerned with telling you, and so this guide will give you the answers to your question: Is there any difference at all? Yes, yes there is!

The following sections include Tire Friction Values, where a higher value is better. In real life, friction between the tire and the road surface is what allows the car to move forward, the same applies in-game where higher friction values result in a better ability to traverse these surfaces.

- Chained tires also have an additional "IsIgnoreIce" value in the files, giving them a unique property which prevents them from slipping on ice.

- For rear-only chained tires, the front tires retain their base values, e.g. For "UAD III Rear Chains", the front tires use "UAD III" values (1.5 | 1.7 | 1), while the rear tires use "UAD III Rear Chains" values (1.2 | 3 | 1.3).

Extra Information

The information in the guide was obtained from files which can be found within the game's directories, using the in-game tire names for reference.

Base friction values for the different tire types:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Codename - SR/preload/paks/client/initial.pak/[media]\_templates\trucks.xml

Further vehicle specific information:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Codename - SR/preload/paks/client/initial.pak/[media]\classes\wheels\*.xml

Further DLC vehicle specific information:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Codename - SR/preload/paks/client/initial.pak/[media]\_dlc\

If you wish to explore these values yourself, you will have to open the "initial.pak" file using an archiver utility such as WinRAR or 7zip, there you will have access to the "[media]" directory allowing you to explore the above files - and any others if you wish.

Note: I do not own the separate DLC vehicles - Western Star 49X, Chevrolet Apache 6x6, Navistar 5000-MV tractor, and the GMC Brigadier - so I cannot look up their tire names and check if they have unique tires. Though based on the files available, the Chevrolet Apache 6x6 is the only one with different tire modifiers, and they appear to be matching the "AS I", "AS II", and "AS III" values already present in the Allterrain section.

Just a heads up, the new Rezvani Tank DLC adds "Ultima" Tires, for most scouts

Conscript 26 May @ 2:03am

Dear Koala thanks a lot for the guide, using it often , great job. Scout JAT values are also in now?

Koala [author] 25 May @ 6:10pm

Added Rezvani, Burlak 6x6, and Atom tires as well. Should have all the tires now again. Didn't realise more were missing other than the JAT tires.

Koala [author] 25 May @ 5:56pm

Added all the JAT tires now, I believe. Should be up-to-date.

Boťa 16 Apr @ 11:36pm

Hello Koala, great guide! Could you please update the tables with JAT values from CarpaccioSalad? Unfortunately on steam deck we cannot see the comments, this would help me big time. Thank you!

Koala [author] 27 Mar @ 4:34pm

Most of them should be, yes. Generally if there's any changes, people do post them here and I try to update when I have time.

Wingnut 19 Mar @ 2:30pm

Are these stats still accurate?
