Commercial Truck Tires For The Tough Off-Road
The importance of having good tires on any type of vehicle cannot be underestimated. They ensure the safety, smooth ride, and fuel economy, among the basic functions they are expected to perform. The quality of commercial truck tires play a great role and often make a big difference on how your truck runs.
Whether you own a truck or you drive one, you may be convinced that trucks are ordinary vehicles with extraordinary size and power. They are mostly designed to carry heavy loads for long journeys or to mount specialized equipment as in the case of fire trucks, concrete mixers and suction excavators. With the heavy tolls, there’s no bigger mistake than choosing low performance tires.
To weather off road mud, truck mud tires are ideal. For this tire type, two names have actually proven themselves in terms of performance and value. They are the Super Swamper and Mickey Thompson.
Super Swamper Tires
For Super Swamper, the TSL Bogger Tires are specifically designed with the professional mud bogger in mind; nonetheless, it performs in other road conditions. It is approved by the Department of Transportation and is street legal. It is an all season tire, with black sidewall and classified C in terms of load range. The driver needs to be very careful, though, when on the street because it doesn't work well on pavement. This is sold for $380 excluding shipping cost.
If you want a mud king tire, it’s worth checking the Super Swamper TSL/SX. It gives out extreme performance off-road, on mud and on rocks, surpassing the rest in durability. Its patented design, TSL or three stage lug excels in any terrain, has rapid self cleaning and lug pattern that chews through the mud. The bottom line is, the tire was made to tough any off-road abuse. The sidewall lugs are designed not only to protect sidewall but also to add traction when climbing out ruts. Its load range is at E, has a black sidewall, and is sold for around $300 (plus shipping cost).
Micky Thompson Tires
For the Mickey Thompson line, the Baja Claw Radial is also a high performance mud king tire. It has heavy diagonal lugs that provide excellent forward momentum through off road mud as well as sand and snow. Its side biter treads give an aggressive, off-road look, too. It has also street friendly tread design producing lower noise on the highway. Its load range is classified as C, and it is offered for around $300.
Of course, there is always an option for those shopping for mud tires on a budget. Cheap off-road tires can give you that confidence still while driving on off-road conditions.
