All-terrain tires are a tire category to consider for some trucks and SUVs used on a mix of paved and unpaved surfaces. Choosing one starts with your vehicle requirements and actual driving conditions. This guide discusses road-vehicle tires; it does not rank ATVs or promise that a tire suits every terrain.
How will you use your truck or SUV?
Tell the branch whether most of your driving is commuting, highway travel, gravel access roads or another use. Explain any towing or load requirements. These details help narrow the options; a tread appearance alone does not establish suitability.
What tire specification does your vehicle require?
Bring the vehicle’s year, make, model and trim, together with its required tire size and ratings. Do not choose a larger tire solely because it looks more rugged. Any alternative size should be checked against approved fitment information and the vehicle’s requirements.
Which model features should you compare?
Compare the specifications of the exact tire models available in your size. Ask about on-road comfort, the intended application, seasonal suitability and manufacturer warranty terms. Benefits advertised for one model should not be assumed to apply to a manufacturer’s entire range.
Is an all-terrain tire suitable for winter?
An all-terrain label describes a category, not a guarantee of winter performance. Check the model’s markings and intended conditions. Transport Canada’s winter tire guidance explains what to consider for colder weather.
