The lift of a tire will depend on a spread of different factors including tire type, driving style, and the road and weather conditions that the tire is exposed to.  Even high quality tires will finally need to get replaced.  The type of tires that you select will depend upon the type of auto you drive and the conditions that you see most frequently.  There are many different popular truck tire brands including Dunlop, Goodyear, Bridgestone, Pirelli, and Michelin.  They will each have their own advantages and drawbacks and come in a good range of prices.  

If you’ve a truck you will probably need to look for light truck tires.  Regular all season light van tires are a good choice for regular paved road riving.  They’re sometimes designed to offer you solid performance in a variety of different road conditions.  All terrain van tires are created for use on both paved roads and light duty off road driving.  They give you extra traction that can be useful on both unpaved roads and wet or snowing conditions.   

When buying light truck tires your first concern should be safety.  Look for tires that perform well in the areas of handling, braking, and resistance to hydroplaning.  Once you narrow down your selection based primarily on these standards you can think about things like ride, comfort, and noise.  Remember the manufacturer’s warranty won’t always be an accurate account of how you can expect the tires to wear.  Always ensure you read the fine print of the warranty thru thoroughly.  Usually the guaranty for tires will be pro-rated so you will get a smaller replacement credit if you’ve got more miles on the tires.  Most warranties will only cover damage to the tire due to standard use conditions and won’t cover damage caused by acute road hazards.
