Same idea, different tread. The deeper the gaps and bigger the blocks, the more it grips off-road and the louder it is on the street. Tap one to jump to it. Snow tires are their own thing: see Winter.

Ratings are a general guide; exact models vary.
Softer rubber and stiff sidewalls for grip, steering feel and braking. Summer tires grip hardest but don't belong in snow or near-freezing weather.
Best for: Sport sedans, coupes, tuner cars and lowered builds on big wheels.
Skip it if: You want max tread life or a soft, quiet ride.
916 in stock now
The everyday tire. Quiet, comfortable, long-lasting and good in the rain. Most cars and crossovers come with these from the factory.
Best for: Commuters, family cars, crossovers and minivans that stay on pavement.
Skip it if: You want sharp handling, drive on dirt, or head into real snow.
1,741 in stock now
The all-season of the truck world. Smooth, quiet tread built for long highway miles, heavy loads and towing. Usually the longest-lasting truck tire.
Best for: Trucks and SUVs that tow, work or commute and rarely leave pavement.
Skip it if: You go off-road or want an aggressive look.
634 in stock now
A chunkier tread that bites on gravel, dirt roads and light trails but still drives well on the highway. A little louder than H/T.
Best for: Trucks and SUVs that see dirt roads, camping, orchards or mountain trips, and want a tougher look.
Skip it if: You never leave pavement (get H/T: quieter, lasts longer).
691 in stock now
Between all-terrain and mud-terrain. Big shoulder blocks and an aggressive sidewall, with a tighter center tread so it's quieter on the road than a mud tire. Brands call it R/T, X/T, ATX or hybrid-terrain.
Best for: Lifted trucks and Jeeps that want the mud-tire look with better daily manners.
Skip it if: You mostly drive the highway and care about noise and MPG.
194 in stock now
The most aggressive tread: huge blocks and wide gaps that throw out mud and claw over rocks. Loud on the highway, wears faster, weaker in rain.
Best for: Serious off-road, mud, rock crawling, and builds where the look comes first.
Skip it if: It's a daily driver on pavement (go R/T or A/T).
173 in stock now
Soft rubber that stays grippy in the cold, plus hundreds of tiny slits (sipes) that grab snow and ice. Look for the mountain-snowflake symbol.
Best for: Regular snow trips or living up the hill. Swap back when the season ends.
Skip it if: You only drive the valley; they wear fast on hot pavement.

P (passenger) tires ride softer. LT (light truck) tires have stronger construction for heavy loads and towing. Trucks that tow or haul usually want LT.
How much weight a tire can carry at full pressure. LT tires use C, D or E (E is the strongest); passenger tires can be SL (standard) or XL (extra load).
M+S (mud and snow) is printed on most all-season and A/T tires. The mountain-with-snowflake symbol (3PMSF) means the tire passed a real snow traction test.
Treadwear, traction and temperature grades. A higher treadwear number usually lasts longer; "A" is the best traction and heat rating.

R/T (rugged-terrain) tires sit between all-terrain and mud-terrain. They have bigger shoulder blocks and a more aggressive look than an A/T, but a tighter center tread so they are quieter on the road than a mud tire.
A little louder than highway tires, but most modern A/T tires are quiet enough for daily driving. Mud-terrain tires are the loud ones.
If you tow, haul heavy loads or your truck came with LT tires from the factory, yes. Half-ton trucks that mostly commute often do fine on P-metric or XL tires. Check the placard in your door jamb or text us your truck.
It is best to run the same type on all four tires, and on all-wheel-drive vehicles it matters even more. Mixing types changes how the car grips and handles.
