Light Truck Tires – New & Used Tires for Light Trucks in the USA
Light trucks demand tires that can handle heavier loads, towing, hauling, and tougher road conditions. Whether you use your truck for work, daily driving, or weekend adventures, choosing the right light truck tires (LT tires) is critical for safety, performance, and long-term durability.
At Gearshift Tires, we offer a wide selection of new and used light truck tires for customers across the United States, helping you find dependable tire solutions that match your driving needs and budget.
What Are Light Truck Tires?
Light truck tires are specifically designed for vehicles that carry heavier loads and experience higher stress than passenger vehicles. These tires are commonly labeled with “LT” in the tire size and feature:
- Reinforced sidewalls
- Higher load ratings
- Stronger internal construction
- Deeper and more aggressive tread patterns
Compared to passenger or SUV tires, LT tires are built for strength, stability, and durability.

Light truck tires are commonly used on:
- Pickup trucks
- Work trucks
- Commercial vans
- Some full-size SUVs
Popular vehicle models from Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, RAM, Toyota, Nissan, and Jeep often require LT-rated tires, especially for towing or hauling. Always check your:

- Vehicle owner’s manual
- If you’re unsure, our team can help confirm fitment.
