SUV/Truck Highway All-Season Tires FAQs
What is the Difference Between Touring All-Season and All-Season Tires?
The tread for touring all-season tires is wider, which means that you get a firmer grip on the road. They also maintain a lower profile than all-season tires. The wider tread allows touring all-season tires to maintain grip even in light snow.
What Is a Highway All-Season Tire?
These tires are made to provide your vehicle with optimal traction in all road conditions, thanks to their longer tread life. They have sipes and independent tread blocks to give you better traction on different road conditions including dirt and gravel. These tires will stand strong through different weather conditions, too.
How Long Do All-Season Tires Last?
Generally, all-season tires can last anywhere from 40,000 to 60,000 miles. This means if you drive an average of 10-12,000 miles a year, which is pretty standard, you can expect to see around four years. However, it also depends on your style of driving.
Should I Get P or LT Tires For My Truck?
Yes, if your SUV came fitted with P-metric tires, it may do you good to have them replaced. The P in P-metric stands for passenger vehicles, so your SUV will run smoothly without any load on it. You will use your SUV or truck for carrying heavy loads eventually. LT (light truck) tires are best known for their load-bearing capacity while P tires are designed for lower weight passenger vehicles like sedans and SUVs.
Do Bigger Tires Use More Gas?
This depends on the traffic conditions in which you drive. If you use your truck for off-peak traveling where it stays over 60 MPH consistently, on highways, for instance, a bigger tire will help you get increased mileage. If you have stop-and-go traffic, it will be better to have tires that are smaller in size so it doesn’t take much fuel to get the tires rolling when they stop

Hasn’t the TripleTred been discontinued in favor of the WeatherReady?
114 is “load rating”, H is “speed rating” and XL refers to “extra load” – likely a reinforced sidewall. Both brands have good and bad tires. Do some homework.
Um, read your sidewall. It’ll have the brand of tire on it. 114 is load rating, H is speed rating, XL refer to “extra load”
