Pickup Truck & SUV Tires in Whitecourt
Light truck, all-terrain and highway tires for pickups and SUVs in Whitecourt, including tires built for gravel and lease roads.
Whitecourt's economy runs largely on forestry and oil and gas, so many pickups here split their time between Highway 43 and gravel roads. Gravel is harder on tires than pavement, especially on sidewalls, and sidewall damage can't be repaired.
Light truck (LT) tires have stronger construction and a higher load range than passenger (P-metric) tires. They are usually the better choice for a pickup that tows, carries heavy loads or spends time on gravel. The size and load range are printed on the sidewall.
Not every tire shop handles oversized tires for lifted trucks, or sells wheels. If you run bigger-than-stock tires or want a wheel and tire package, say so when you call. Rough roads can also knock the alignment out.
Common jobs
- All-terrain tires

Have this ready when you call

- Whether you run stock or oversized tires
Common questions
Do I need LT tires on my pickup?
If you tow, haul heavy loads or drive gravel and lease roads, LT tires are usually the safer choice because they have a stronger build and higher load range. Check the load range on your door-jamb placard and current tires.
