Light Truck

Light trucks have been a popular choice for many Northern Ontarians; whether for work or play, Royal Tire has an array of tire choices for your driving needs.

Light truck tires are one of the cross-over areas of the tire industry. Royal Tire has P-Series tires for light duty pick-ups, SUV's, vans, and CUV's; LT-Series tires, in varying ply and load carrying capacities, are also available for heavy duty usage.

Tread design, load carrying capacity, and appearance in the wheel well all play a factor in the right tire choice. Royal Tire provides the following chart to assist you in picking the right light truck tire, and you can also utilize the expertise of a Royal Tire Sales Representative to provide you with a thorough needs analysis and recommendation before purchasing your new light truck tires.
