“Where Can I Find Truck Tires For Sale Near Me?”

If you’ve been looking for truck tires for sale near you in the Calgary area of Alberta, Trail Tire Auto Center on 16th Avenue can help you out.

“Is It Hard To Find Truck Tires In Calgary, AB?”

No, you are in the right place! At Trail Tire Auto Center on 16th Avenue, we have a wide selection of truck tires for sale. We have a variety of different brands, types, and sizes of truck tires available, as well as tires for SUV’s, crossovers, vans, minivans, sedans, coupes, and more.

Why Do Trucks Need Their Own Tires?

It’s important to have tires that are sized for your vehicle. Pickup trucks and light trucks have different needs than other vehicles. For example, it’s wise to avoid light truck rims and tires during winter. If you drive your pickup truck on Calgary streets all the time, you can choose lighter truck rims. However, if you often use your truck for road trips, or even off-road adventures, then heavier duty truck rims and tires are probably your best option.

How Are Truck Tires Different?

Light truck tires can endure more wear and tear than passenger tires, thanks to features such as reinforced sidewalls and broad treads. Truck tires can perform in harsh situations, carry heavy loads, and are more adept at off-roading. Apart from pickup trucks, light truck tires can also be suitable for SUVs, crossovers, and full-size vans.

Truck tires can have features such as:

• Extended Casing Ply
• An extra belt
• Sturdy steel cord belt
• A larger bead with extra rubber on the sidewalls

Truck Tire Tread Options

Tread life is critical to a tire’s value. You don’t want the tread to wear down after just a year or two. There are several varieties of treads available. These include:

Highway Tread (HT)

Highway tread patterns feature four circumferential water outflow channels. They also have solid or large tread blocks on the shoulder for longer life, as well as a silent and comfortable ride. They also offer improved gas mileage.

All-Terrain Tread (AT)

All-terrain treads are useful for drivers who occasionally drive off-road or spend a lot of time on gravel roads. The contact patch has less rubber in contact with the asphalt, but these tires can provide additional grip when traveling on surfaces other than pavement.

Mud Terrain Tread (MT)

Hardcore off-road truck drivers often choose mud terrain tread tires. These tread patterns are aggressive, with small contact patches and a deep primary rubber offering. If you go off-road often, you need an aggressive tread to bite through whatever surfaces you traverse.
