Choosing truck tires in Miami starts with two numbers on the sidewall you already have: the size and the load range. A light truck, a work van and a half-ton pickup that never leaves the pavement need different tires, so call Miami Tire Shop at (786) 322-2740 with the size, the load you carry, and how much of your driving is highway versus off-road.
What is the difference between P-metric and LT truck tires?
A P-metric tire is built for passenger loads and gives a quieter, softer ride. An LT tire has a stiffer construction and a higher load range for towing and hauling. If your truck came with LT tires, replace them with LT tires of the same load range or higher, never lower.
Highway, all-terrain or mud-terrain truck tires?
Highway tires suit trucks that stay on the road and wear the slowest. All-terrain tires trade some road noise for grip on gravel, sand and grass. Mud-terrain tires grip in deep mud and rock but are loud and wear fast on pavement. Pick for the driving you do most weeks, not the trip you take once a year.
What should you check at the truck tire shop?
Ask for the load index and speed rating of the quoted tire, the DOT date code, and whether mounting, balancing and valve stems are in the price. If you tow, ask for the right inflation for a loaded trailer. Drivers from the 14 areas on the Miami map can call ahead at (786) 322-2740 to check what fits.
