Types of Heavy Duty Truck Tires

There are many different kinds of heavy duty truck tires from which you can choose. These tires differ in many ways from light-truck and passenger truck tires. For example, many passenger truck owners actually choose passenger car tires because they are economical and offer a smooth, quiet ride. For heavy duty work, however, something more durable and efficient is needed. Many manufacturers produce tires made for this purpose. For example, Specialty Tires of America, Inc. is a company who makes several different types of heavy duty tires for your truck.

The Superlug Express model of tire is made for the drive wheel of rigs of all sizes. The specially designed rib/lug combination offers incredible traction and durability. The Superlug Special ML is also made for such work but is even more durable because it has extra ply construction which protects it from the rigors of the road. Another tire choice for your rig from this company is the Super Transport model, which is suitable for any tire position. Specialty Tires of America, Inc. also makes tires for military vehicles.

You will find all kinds of heavy duty tires from other manufacturers as well. Michelin is an example of a nationally recognized tire manufacturer who offers high quality heavy duty tires. Michelin offers tires for many different types of trucks including rigs, food service trucks, moving and storage trucks, military trucks, water carrying trucks and many more. They also sell many different tires for light duty trucks and passenger trucks. On their website you can browse the many types of tires they sell.

When you are shopping for heavy duty truck tires there are many different factors to consider. The type of truck you have is of course the most important factor. As you know, tires are not one size fits all. It is imperative to choose a tire that fits your truck. Your climate and terrain conditions and how much weight you will be hauling are also crucial considerations when it comes to buying tires. You will need to know what your load rating is. To find your load rating, either look on your tire itself or refer to your vehicle owners manual. Once you know your load rating you are better equipped to choose the ideal tire for your truck.
