There's a common misconception that there isn't a huge range of 4x4 truck tires out there. Wrong! There are. But which are the best ones depends on what you want them for and what sort of vehicle you have. If your vehicle is higher off the ground than most others then you will need bigger tyres to carry off the effect. Also what will your driving conditions be? Off road or on regular highway, or a mixture of both?

So where exactly will you be taking your monster vehicle? If you are driving off road and encountering mud and rocks, then height becomes an important consideration. So regardless of the type of treads you'll probably need bigger tyres, definitely bigger than the standard street tires that come with new trucks and SUV's.

Planning ahead in this fashion will ensure that you get the best 4x4 tires for your vehicle. Once you know this it'll then be worth your while swotting up on the sorts of tires that are around and the companies that make them.

Here are a few of the names worth thinking about; The Pirelli Scorpion Series Truck 4x4. The STR and STR A series are highway all-season tires. The STR stands for Stability, Traction and Ratings. If you're driving in winter conditions the Scorpion series has ice and snow winter tires that have a tread rubber compound that's flexible at low temperatures.

Michelin Synchrone are good all-rounders and are just as capable on the road as off road. Drivers tend to be impressed by the traction and handling, particularly during wet weather conditions. If you're going to be powering your way through extreme muddy conditions then how about the Mud Terrain T/A by BF Goodrich. They look mean, tough and aggressive and can handle deep mud, sand and rocks. They are also street friendly.

The best 4x4 tires will be reasonably quiet, wear evenly, maintain good balance and keep the vehicle under control no matter what the conditions, sand, ice, mud, snow, Basically you want them to kick ass wherever you are driving. No matter what tires you eventually buy, the biggest factor in making sure they perform how they are supposed to do, is inflation. Make sure they have the correct air pressure inside them. They'll last longer and perform better. If you still don't know what's best for you, head to the various websites and community groups. The chances are that there are people out there who are driving in similar conditions to the ones you want to drive in. Don't be afraid to ask around.
