An asymmetrical tire is provided that includes at least a crown, a first shoulder having a first tread, and a second shoulder having a second tread. In one embodiment of the present invention, the crown and second shoulder include high-performance tread and the first shoulder includes off-road tread. By using off-road tread on the outer shoulder, the tire will have the visual aesthetics of an off-road tire. And by using high-performance tread on the crown and second shoulder, the vehicle will exhibit a smooth and quiet ride that is fuel efficient, and will not rub on, or interfere with the vehicle's wheel well or splash guard. In one embodiment, an upper portion of the first shoulder includes high-performance tread and a side portion includes off-road tread. By using two different types of tread on the outer shoulder, the tire can provide a smoother ride, while still exhibiting an off-road appearance.
