Pickup and SUV tires for gravel, job sites and Calgary winters
Shah Tires Supplies and Fits Truck Tires in Calgary
Truck tires in Calgary take a beating: gravel on Stoney Trail, screws and rebar on job sites, frozen ruts on acreage roads and summer weekends towing to the lakes. Shah Tires keeps LT all terrain and mud terrain tires plus SUV highway tires on the rack at 227 41 Ave NE, and we can order major brands such as Toyo, Cooper, Goodyear, Firestone, Bridgestone and Hankook in most truck sizes. We've fitted pickup tires on everything from a Ram 1500 to a Ford F-350.
Tell us how you use your truck, what you tow and where you drive, and we'll match the tire to the load, the terrain and the season.
Why Truck Tire Choice Matters Around Calgary
Four-wheel drive gets a pickup moving in snow, but a heavy truck still depends on its tires to stop and turn, especially on packed snow at an intersection or on ice after a Chinook refreeze. Add gravel roads, heavy loads and -30°C mornings that drop LT pressures fast, and the wrong tire wears out or fails early.
The first thing we check is construction. LT tires (light truck) are built with stronger casings for heavier loads at higher pressures. Many half-tons leave the factory on passenger-rated tires, but if you tow, haul or work on gravel, an LT tire with the right load range (C, D or E) is the safer choice. Never fit a lower load rating than your door placard calls for. The trade-off with LT construction is a firmer ride and a little more road noise, which most truck owners barely notice once the bed is loaded or a trailer is hooked up.
Truck and SUV Tires Available in NE Calgary
We stock two LT sizes built for work and off-road use, plus highway-terrain SUV tires in 15- to 20-inch sizes. For popular 17-, 18- and 20-inch pickup fitments on an F-150, Ram 1500 or Silverado, we can order most sizes; call (587) 894-3516 for availability and pricing.
Anchee AC858: LT All Terrain for Work Vans and Light Trucks
We stock the AC858 in LT225/75R16, a size used on many work vans and older light-duty pickups. Its tougher tread and sidewalls stand up to gravel and job-site debris, and the open tread clears packed snow better than a highway tire.
Haida Mud Champ HD869: Mud Terrain for 20-Inch Pickups
The HD869 in LT275/55R20 has large tread blocks with wide voids that dig through mud and loose rock. It's excellent off-road, but mud terrain tires are louder, wear faster on pavement and grip ice less well. It's for trucks that really leave the pavement.
Haida HD837, HD937 and Habilead PracticalMax H/T: SUV Tires
Most SUVs spend nearly all their time on pavement, so a highway-terrain tire is the right call. We stock the Haida HD837 in four sizes, the HD937 in 255/50R20 and 255/55R20 for full-size SUVs, and the Habilead PracticalMax H/T RS21 in 245/60R18. They're quiet, long-wearing, and built for SUV loads, but they're three-season tires here, so plan a winter set.
Toyo Open Country A/T III: A Proven All Terrain We Can Order
One of the most popular all terrain tires for half-tons, with LT and passenger versions and the 3PMSF snowflake on many sizes. It balances highway manners with gravel toughness. See our Toyo tires page.
Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S and AT3 XLT
The AT3 4S is a 3PMSF all terrain for daily-driven pickups and SUVs; the AT3 XLT is built tougher for heavy-duty LT use and towing. Both can be ordered in most truck sizes; more on our Cooper tires page.
Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac, Firestone Destination A/T2 and Hankook Dynapro AT2
The DuraTrac is a more aggressive hybrid for drivers who want real off-road bite with winter capability; see Goodyear tires. The Destination A/T2 and Dynapro AT2 are well-priced all terrain options for trucks that mostly stay on pavement and gravel.
BF Goodrich KO2, Falken Wildpeak or Yokohama Geolandar?
These are the all terrain names truck owners ask about most. The BFGoodrich KO2 (often shortened to BFG KO2) is famous for tough sidewalls; the Falken Wildpeak AT3W is known for strong snow performance and carries the snowflake; and the Yokohama Geolandar line covers everything from highway to rugged all terrain. BF Goodrich tires, Falken and Yokohama are not among the brands we regularly order, but we can source other sizes and brands, so call and we'll check what's obtainable in your size. If one isn't, the Toyo, Cooper and Goodyear options above are close equivalents.
Choose the Right Tires for Your Truck
Match the tread to where your truck actually spends its time.
More Than Tires for Your Truck
Big, aggressive treads can wear into a saw-tooth pattern if they stay in one position too long, so book a tire rotation every 8,000 to 10,000 km. If your dash shows a pressure warning after a cold night, our TPMS sensor service checks sensors and runs the relearn.

- Pressure and torqueSet to the placard pressure for your load and torqued to spec. Recheck after 100 km.

Frequently Asked Questions
What truck tires do you have in stock?
We stock the Anchee AC858 LT all terrain in LT225/75R16 and the Haida Mud Champ HD869 mud terrain in LT275/55R20, plus SUV highway tires from Haida and Habilead in 15- to 20-inch sizes. We can order most other truck sizes from major brands. Call (587) 894-3516 to check your size.
Do I need LT tires on my half-ton?
Not always. Many half-ton trucks come on passenger-rated tires from the factory. If you tow regularly, carry heavy loads or drive gravel and job sites, LT tires with a suitable load range offer more strength and puncture resistance. Never fit a lower load rating than your door placard requires.
Are all terrain tires good in snow?
Many all terrain tires handle snow better than highway tires because of their open tread, and some, such as the Toyo Open Country A/T III, Cooper AT3 4S and Falken Wildpeak AT3W, carry the 3PMSF snowflake. For regular ice, a dedicated LT winter tire still gives a pickup the most grip.
Can you get BFGoodrich KO2 tires?
BFGoodrich isn't one of the brands we regularly order, but we can source other sizes and brands. Call with your size and we'll check whether the KO2 is obtainable. If not, the Toyo Open Country A/T III and Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT are strong alternatives we can order in most truck sizes.
Are mud terrain tires good for daily driving?
They work, with trade-offs: more road noise, faster wear on pavement and less grip on ice than an all terrain. If most of your driving is on Deerfoot and your off-roading is a few weekends a year, an all terrain is usually the better fit. Mud terrains suit trucks that go off-road often.
What tire pressure should my truck run?
Use the pressure on the placard inside the driver's door, not the maximum printed on the sidewall. Some trucks list a higher pressure for heavy loads or towing. Check monthly in winter, since a cold Calgary night drops pressure noticeably and underinflated LT tires wear the shoulders fast.
How often should I replace truck tires?
Replace them at about 4/32 of tread, or 5/32 if you rely on them in winter. Also check for cuts and chunks from gravel roads, sidewall damage and the DOT date. Tires older than about six years deserve a close inspection even with tread left.
Can you install tires on heavy-duty pickups?
Yes. We've fitted tires on trucks from the Ram 1500 up to the Ford F-350. Call ahead with your size so we can confirm stock and book a time, since larger LT tires take a little longer to mount and balance properly.
