Highway and Touring Tires
Highway terrain tires are optimized for the job most trucks and SUVs actually do: covering pavement miles quietly, efficiently and predictably, often with a trailer behind them. The tread is a closed pattern with continuous circumferential ribs, which is what keeps them quiet and stable and gives them long even wear. Many highway tires deliver 60,000 to 80,000 miles.
The ribbed design also matters for towing. Continuous ribs resist squirm under lateral load, which is what keeps a loaded trailer from feeling like it is steering the truck. If you tow regularly, look for an LT highway tire in load range E, and check the load index against your actual loaded axle weights rather than assuming the factory size is enough.
Where highway tires give ground is loose surfaces. On gravel, wet grass, mud or unplowed snow, the closed tread simply cannot bite. If your truck sees those conditions more than occasionally, step up to an all-terrain and accept a little more noise.

Highway and Touring Tires: the questions people ask
How do I read a tire size?
Metric sizes give section width in millimetres, then aspect ratio as a percentage of that width, then rim diameter in inches. So 275/60R20 is 275mm wide with a sidewall 60 percent of 275mm tall on a 20 inch wheel. Flotation sizes are simpler: 35x12.50R20 is 35 inches tall and 12.5 inches wide on a 20 inch wheel. Every listing here also publishes the overall diameter worked out for you.
Will a bigger size fit without a lift?
Usually one size up over stock clears on a half ton truck with a leveling kit. Going from a 33 inch to a 35 inch tire almost always needs a leveling kit plus trimming at the front bumper corners. 37 inch tires need a real lift and normally a re-gear to get the drivability back.
What do load index and speed rating mean?
Load index is the weight one tire carries at its rated pressure. Speed rating is the sustained speed it is certified for. Never fit a tire with a lower load index than the placard in your driver door jamb calls for. On a truck that tows, going under the placard rating is the commonest cause of a tire failing under load.
Do tires arrive mounted?
Loose tires ship on their own and need a local shop to mount and balance them. Wheel and tire packages ship mounted, balanced and ready to bolt on.
How fast do orders ship?
Orders ship from a United States warehouse, normally within 1 to 3 business days of clearing. Orders over $199 ship free, and below that a flat rate is shown at checkout before you pay. Tracking is emailed as soon as the shipment is created.
What can I return?
Unmounted, uninstalled parts in original packaging can be returned within 30 days. A wheel that has had a tire mounted on it, and a tire that has been fitted, cannot be returned because neither is new any more. That is why we check the fitment data on every order against the vehicle you give us before it ships.
Can someone check fitment for me before I order?
Yes, and it costs nothing. Send us the year, make, model, trim and what is on the vehicle now, and we will tell you what fits, what will rub and what it takes to clear.
