FAQ
What makes light truck tyres different from standard car tyres?
Light truck tyres (often marked as LT tyres) are specifically designed to carry heavier loads and endure more demanding conditions than regular car tyres. They have stronger sidewalls, higher load capacities, and more durable construction — making them ideal for commercial use, towing, or transporting equipment. While they may ride slightly firmer than standard tyres, they offer better performance under stress and on rougher surfaces.
How long do light truck tyres last?
The lifespan of light truck tyres depends on load, driving conditions, and maintenance. On average, they can last between 50,000 to 80,000 kilometres when properly inflated and rotated regularly. Heavy loads, unsealed roads, or constant stop-start driving can reduce tyre life. Regular inspections, balancing, and checking tread wear will help maximise performance and ensure safe operation.
Can I use secondhand tyres on a light truck or ute?
Yes, secondhand tyres can be a cost-effective option for light trucks and utes, provided they’re inspected thoroughly. It’s important to check tread depth, ensure there’s no sidewall damage or irregular wear, and confirm that the load rating matches your vehicle’s needs. Reputable tyre shops inspect secondhand tyres carefully and only supply those that meet safety standards.
