Heavy-duty truck owners know how important it is to have the best possible set of tires for their vehicles. After all heavy-duty pickup trucks are used not only for basic transportation but also as utilitarian tools for work whether you’re hauling, towing, or just carrying heavy loads. As such, these trucks need tires that can hold up well to constant rough use without wearing down or sacrificing ride quality.
If you’ve customized your truck to suit your preferences, it makes sense to also get tires that go with your rig’s new look.
Here’s a list of some of the best heavy-duty truck tires we’d recommend:
-
BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2
More commonly known as the BFG A-T, these are an instant classic. Trusted and respected by plenty of truck owners, these all-terrain tires have proven their worth through the years. This tire strikes a balance between both on and off-road driving and keeps you in control even when driving in snow. It also has an exceptionally long wear life guaranteeing you miles of excellent driving.

With this tire, you’ll have excellent traction whether you stick to the highway or go off-road. Even though the tread pattern isn’t aggressive, it’s still designed to give your truck optimum control on all sorts of terrain.

Dick Cepek Mud Country
When it comes to tread patterns, the Dick Cepek Mud Country tires have the most aggressive ones yet. This offers enhanced grip even when going through muddy roads. Additionally, they come with stepped tread blocks for self-cleaning so your truck retains control even on the slickest surfaces. You’d expect the aggressive tread to make for a noisy ride but that’s not the case. You’ll have a smooth, quiet ride on the highway but trust us, you’ll want to try out this set of tires off-road.

We can only describe this as a hybrid tire designed for those looking for adventure.
