Specification and Maintenance of Tow Truck Tires
Tow truck tires aren’t like regular tires; they’re built for heavier loads, constant use, and challenging driving conditions. Choosing the right tires—and maintaining them properly—can help reduce breakdowns. Below, we’ll cover what you need to look for when choosing tow truck tires and how to keep them performing at their best.
Key Specifications to Consider When Selecting Tow Truck Tires
Before you buy, it’s important to understand the tire features that matter most. Every aspect, from load and speed rating to tread design, affects how your tow truck handles and how long your tires last. Here’s a breakdown of the most important specifications.
Tire Size
Always make sure your tires match the size recommended by your tow truck’s manufacturer. Tire size affects not only fit but also how your truck handles under load. If you're unsure, our experts can help you read the sidewall on your current tires or check the owner's manual to find the right fit.
Load Rating
Tow trucks consistently haul heavy loads—often far more than standard trucks. This means load rating is one of the most important factors to consider. A higher load rating ensures your tires can handle the stress of towing without risking blowouts or tire failure. At Wheel and Tire Superstore, we carry a wide range of heavy-duty options perfect for towing applications.
Speed Rating
While tow trucks don’t usually race down highways, your tires still need to be rated for the speeds you typically drive. The speed rating gives you a guideline on the maximum speed your tires can safely handle under load. We’ll help you find the right balance between load capacity and speed capability.
Tread Design
Whether you’re towing on dry pavement, wet roads, or uneven surfaces, tread design makes a difference. Tires with aggressive tread patterns provide extra grip and stability, especially in adverse weather. Tires with lower rolling resistance can also boost fuel efficiency—a major advantage for long-distance towing.
