When tackling an off-road project, the last thing you want is to get stuck because your truck’s tires aren’t prepared to handle the job. Selecting the right tires for your truck can significantly impact your vehicle’s performance, safety, and fuel efficiency.

To choose the right tires, consider your project’s terrain, off-road needs, and towing requirements. Asking yourself these questions helps narrow down the tire options to find the most suitable off-road tire and towing tire for you. Whether moving your crew to your job site, tackling rugged trails, or hauling heavy loads, finding the right tire for your work truck can assist with your job.

1. What Type of Terrain Will It Be Driven On?

If you aren’t planning to tow anything and keep your vehicle on the street, the Highway class is an excellent choice for everyday driving. The tires provide a smooth, quiet ride while offering durability and long tread life because of their design. Our highway tires are standard for class one and two wide-trim trucks, as well as any trucks class three or above. They feature a unique tread design that enhances traction on wet and dry surfaces, ensuring a safe and comfortable ride.

2. Will You Be Using This Vehicle Off-Road?

Trucks that have remote, off-road job sites require a stronger tire. If you plan for light off-road use on harder terrain like gravel, rocks, or hard-packed dirt but have no towing requirements, the All Terrain class is perfect for your tire needs.

Designed for all-terrain use, these tires are standard on class one and two high-trim trucks. The all-terrain tires offer excellent traction and durability, making it suitable for various off-road conditions. Their reinforced sidewalls provide added protection against punctures and cuts, ensuring that your tires can handle the rough terrain.

3. Will You Be Towing with the Vehicle?

If you have a heavy-duty project that involves towing and off-road use, the Extreme Terrain class is the upgrade you need. These tires withstand the harshest conditions, making them ideal for off-roading on mud, snow, or ice. Their aggressive tread patterns provide maximum traction, while the reinforced construction ensures durability and longevity.

The extreme terrain tires also feature a sharp, rugged look that complements the appearance of any truck. Whether you’re navigating through muddy trails or towing heavy loads, these extreme terrain tires offer the reliability and performance you need.

Picking the correct tire is important for driving on highways, working on job sites, or carrying heavy loads in tough conditions. Our range of highway tires, all-terrain tires, and extreme terrain tires ensures that you can find the ideal match for your specific needs. Tackle any project with confidence, knowing you have the traction, durability, and reliability required to get the job done right.
