Light Truck Tires

Light truck tires in Calgary: A/T, M/T and H/T

This collection is every light truck and LT-rated tire we stock in Calgary — BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 and KO2, Toyo Open Country A/T III, Yokohama Geolandar, Bridgestone Dueler A/T ASCENT and more, across highway (H/T), all-terrain (A/T) and mud-terrain (M/T) tread types. Filter by your size above; what shows is in stock.

LT-rated vs P-metric: which does your truck need?

An LT prefix (LT275/70R18, for example) means the tire is built with reinforced sidewalls and a stronger casing to carry more weight at higher inflation pressures. Three-quarter-ton and one-ton trucks — F-250s, 2500-series and up — require LT tires. Most half-tons (F-150, Silverado 1500, Ram 1500, Tundra) come factory-fitted with P-metric or Euro-metric tires, which ride softer and cost less.

The rule: match or exceed the load rating on your door-jamb placard. If you tow a holiday trailer down the QE2 or haul a slip tank in the box, stepping a half-ton up to LT tires adds sidewall stability and puncture resistance. If your truck is a daily commuter, the P-metric it came with is usually the better ride and the better price.

A/T vs M/T vs H/T for Alberta driving

• H/T (highway terrain): pavement-first. Quietest, longest tread life, best fuel economy, solid in rain. The right choice if the truck lives on Deerfoot and Stoney and tows on paved highways.
• A/T (all-terrain): the Alberta default. Handles the gravel roads east of the city around Strathmore and Langdon, jobsite mud, and mountain highway runs to Banff and Golden. Many, like the KO3 and Open Country A/T III, carry the 3PMSF snowflake for winter mountain travel. The trade-off versus an H/T is a little more noise and a little less tread life.
• M/T (mud terrain): deep mud, rock and serious off-road use. Big open lugs mean real noise on the highway and faster pavement wear, so buy an M/T because you need it off-road, not for the look. An aggressive A/T covers most Alberta use with less compromise.

Load range E vs C

Load range is the modern version of ply rating. C (6-ply rated) is lighter, rides better and covers most half-ton duty. E (10-ply rated, up to 80 PSI) is for three-quarter-ton and up, heavy towing and truck campers. Don't buy E "just to be safe" on a truck that never tows heavy — you'll pay for it in ride harshness, weight and fuel every day. Check your placard, and when in doubt, call and we'll look up your fitment.
