<h3>SUV TRUCK TIRE BASICS</h3>
 
Truck Tire Basics 
Perhaps the most important safety feature of an 
SUV is the tires. Without the right tires your 
SUV will not perform at its best. The tire 
rating system for SUVfs is based on many 
features such as: emergency and corner managing, 
performance in braking, ability to avoid 
hydroplaning and dry road traction to name but a 
few. One of the most popular tires that are used 
on SUVfs is the all season tires. The 
difference between standard passenger car tires 
and SUV tires is that the SUV tires are designed 
to handle larger impacts which is a plus when 
traveling with children. The downfall is that 
they do not last nearly as long as standard car 
tires. They also generally come with better off 
road traction as SUVfs are used in all sorts of 
situations and areas, making tires as these a 
necessity. 
 
Choosing Tires: 
There area many type of tires on the market so 
knowing what type you want is very important. A 
good way to decide on what tires you will need 
would be to access what and how you will be using 
your SUV for. Such as if you will be using it 
mainly for around town for errands and going to 
and from work then you will want to go with all 
season tires where as, the all terrain tires are 
meant for use in many different elements such as 
rain and snow. When choosing the right tire for 
your SUV you want to be sure that you go with the 
tire that fits your lifestyle, so if you like to 
be outdoors and go on do off road excursions then 
the all terrain is the right tire for you. The 
right tires in place will last much longer as you 
will have the right tool for the job. You donft 
want to use all season tires when you are off 
road on camping trips all the time as this will 
wear them out prematurally. 
 
Carrying the Load 
The most important aspect to consider when 
picking the right tire for your SUV is the gload 
indexh which is what indicates the maximum 
weight the tire can handle. Always be sure to go 
with tires that match the load index of the tires 
that the vehicle was originally equipped with. 
If you are not sure as to what the proper load 
index is then you can check the tire itself or 
check in the ownerfs manual that came with the 
vehicle. Choosing the right size tires with the 
correct load index will ensure that you are not 
overloading the vehicles tires. You can cause 
damage to the SUV if you put too much unneeded 
pressure on the tires. If you are still unsure 
as to what it the best choice you can check with 
the manufacture as to what they recommended to be 
the best choice.
