Shop Light Truck Tires at Best Prices + Free Shipping
Full sized SUVs, light duty trucks and pickup trucks require better than average tires in order to offer great performance on unpaved roads as well as towing and hauling. Plus, they also need to have a longer tread life than classic car or road SUV tires.
What are light truck tires?
You can immediately recognize light truck tires as they have the prefix LT in their name. In comparison to used passenger tires, used light truck tires have:
- Higher load index for towing and hauling heavy things or other vehicles;
- Stiffer sidewalls;
- Deeper treads for driving safely and efficiently off-road;
- Strong and reinforced construction for durability;
- Improved vehicle handling;
- Lower level of road comfort.
Used light truck tires by function
All season used light truck tires
Most of the light trucks are equipped with this type of tires by default, in order to give you good performance in a wide variety of weather conditions. They offer durability and can handle mild seasonal changes, while also giving you a smooth ride on paved roads. They work ok in case of light snow or small winter storms, but they are not made for deep snow, ice and very cold weather. In that case you will need winter light truck tires.
All season light truck tires are also lighter in weight compared to other types, which makes them fuel efficient. They can also handle towing and hauling activities, as long as they happen on-road. They are perfect if you do most of the driving on streets and highways, but if you plan on going off-road, then you need to consider other types of tires.
All terrain used light truck tires
Most of the light truck owners spend about half of the time on paved roads and half of the time off-road, so all terrain used truck tires can be the perfect choice. They can handle difficult weather conditions on all types of roads (wet, gravel, potholes), as long as you don’t throw anything too extreme at them.But they are not as good when it comes to road noise, fuel efficiency and handling because of a heavy weight and a rugged construction.
Mud terrain used light truck tires
If you love taking your light truck off-road and spend most of the time on tough road conditions, then you definitely need this type of tires. Whether you choose to drive in the desert, in the mountains, on muddy roads or rocky surfaces, they will do their job very well thanks to the tread blocks that offer good traction and stability. They are aggressive and perform well when it comes to tough roads, but they will also wear off quickly and they have a reduced tread life.
New or used light truck tires speed index
Shown by letters from A to Z, speed indexes range from 3 mph to above 186 mph. Light truck tires are not made to go as fast as passenger vehicles, and they usually have one of these indexes: N, P, Q, R, S, T or H (87 mph to 130 mph).These numbers are determined in ideal laboratory conditions, so you should not go all the way and drive at the maximum indicated speed.
New or used light truck tires load index
In case you see a light truck tire with two load indexes (for example 110 / 107), you should know that the first one is for the single tire fitment, while the second one refers to the dual fitment. The load indexes for light truck tires usually range from 70 (739 lbs.) to 110 (2.337 lbs.) per tire, which means 2.956 / 9.348 lbs. per vehicle.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the best tires for my light truck?
The answer here is pretty simple: ask yourself where do you drive your light truck the most? If you are mostly traveling through the city and on the highways, then you should go for all-season or all-terrain tires. However, if you are mostly driving in muddy or difficult off-road conditions, then you should choose mud terrain tires. For most times of the year you can go with all-season tires, while in cold winters with heavy snow and ice you should choose winter tires.
