Choosing the Right Tires for Your SUV or Truck

Written by

SUVs and trucks span everything from daily commuters to trail rigs, so the “best” tire depends on how you use yours.

Highway / touring

Best for vehicles that mostly stay on pavement. Expect a quiet, comfortable ride, good tread life, and solid wet/winter manners.

All-terrain (A/T)

A versatile middle ground: confident on the highway with extra grip on gravel, dirt, and light trails. A great choice if you split time between road and off-road. Many carry the 3PMSF snow rating.

Mud-terrain (M/T)

Aggressive, chunky tread for serious off-road traction in mud and rock. The trade-off is more road noise and shorter tread life on pavement.

Don’t forget load rating

If you tow or haul, choose a tire with an adequate load range (such as E) and load index. Confirm the size and load rating on your door-jamb placard, then browse our catalog by vehicle or size.
