What to know before you buy

Truck and SUV tires aren’t the same shopping trip as quiet highway touring tires. If you tow, haul, or leave pavement, start with brands that make proven all-terrain (and mud-terrain) lines — then match your size and load range.

BFGoodrich and Goodyear are the usual shortlist. Toyo, Cooper, and Falken are strong mid-priced alternatives.

FAQ

What is the best tire brand for trucks?

For mixed on-road and dirt use, start with BFGoodrich (KO2 / Trail Terrain) or Goodyear Wrangler lines. If you tow heavy, confirm load range E.

What are the best tire brands for SUVs?

Crossovers that mostly stay on pavement often do fine on touring all-seasons from Michelin or Continental. Bigger body-on-frame SUVs that see gravel or trails belong with the truck brands on this page.

Are mud-terrain tires worth it?

Only if you regularly need deep mud or rock traction. They’re louder and wear faster on pavement. Most drivers are happier on all-terrains — use the tire finder when you truly need mud-terrains.
