Choosing commercial truck tires: drive tires, tire types and suppliers

Choosing the right commercial truck tire starts with knowing the position and the job. Here is how to think about drive tires, tire types and where you buy.

Why drive tires matter

Drive tires put the engine's power on the road and carry a large share of the load. Their type and tread design strongly affect how a commercial truck performs, so they deserve careful choosing.

Types of semi tires

Semi tires are made for steer, drive and trailer positions, and for regional or long-haul use. Matching the tire to its position and your type of work is the first step to getting good value.

Pricing

For what drives the price of a full set, see our guide to the cost of 8 commercial truck semi tires. Always ask for a written price that includes the tire, quantity and any shipping before you order.

Choosing a dealer

A trusted source helps make sure the tires are genuine and the right fit. Ask who supplies the tires and what warranty applies.
