Light Truck Tires
With the proliferation of light trucks these days, we find more and more light truck tires on the market. This goes hand in hand with the abundance of custom wheel possibilities available.
Since customizing smaller trucks is more economically feesible, it has become more than just the fad it was in the late 80's. The aftermarket parts for light trucks is a billion dollar industry. Light truck tires are no exception.
Whether you are looking to put some dubs under your truck or just want to lift your suspension and get a more aggressive look, there's a tire size made for you. Virtually every manufacturer produces tires specifically tailored to this market. In fact, there are whole websites and catalogs dedicated to your truck.
With this economic boom comes some caution. Years ago, there were recalls on firestone tires, and more recently there were some on cooper tires. Both companies have a solid reputation, so it's probably just a little hiccup, but make sure you are aware. The real problem is with less expensive accessories. Tires tend to be pretty safe overall as so much testing and engineering goes into them.
