4x4 & SUV tyres
Buy 4x4 & SUV tyres online by checking your tyre size, then comparing options for your driving. Tyroola Tyres lists 10,348 products from 107 brands, priced from $41 to $1,955 per tyre, including GST. Choose by width, profile and rim size, or browse by brand and tread pattern. Tyres can be delivered Australia-wide or sent to a Tyroola fitting partner near you for fitting and balancing. Partners operate nationwide.
Start with the correct tyre size
Check the numbers and letters on your current tyre sidewall, such as 265/65R17. You can also use the vehicle's tyre placard, usually found on the driver's door frame, door pillar or inside the fuel flap. Match the width, profile and rim size before comparing other features.
The placard also lists the vehicle manufacturer's recommended load and speed ratings. Do not choose a lower rating without confirming that it is permitted for your vehicle and local requirements. Tyroola lets you shop by size, brand or tread pattern, then filter by brand, speed rating, tread type and stock.
Choose the tread for your driving
Highway Terrain tyres suit mostly sealed roads, commuting and long highway trips. Their road-focused tread is generally quieter and smoother, with good wet-road stability. They are a practical choice for many urban SUVs and 4x4s that rarely leave the bitumen.
All Terrain tyres suit mixed use, including sealed roads, gravel, dirt tracks and occasional beach or bush driving. Mud Terrain tyres have deeper, more open tread for mud, rocks and difficult tracks, but can create more road noise and feel less settled on sealed roads. Touring and performance patterns are also available for road-focused SUV driving.
Match load and speed ratings to the job
The load index shows how much weight one tyre can carry at the correct pressure. Check it against the placard, especially if you carry tools, camping equipment, passengers or a canopy. If you tow a caravan or trailer, consider the combined vehicle, axle and towball loads, and ask a qualified tyre professional about suitable construction and capacity.
The speed rating indicates the maximum speed capability under specified conditions. It must meet the vehicle requirement. A stronger-looking tyre is not automatically suitable if its size, load index or speed rating does not match the vehicle's specifications.
Consider Australian conditions and running costs
Australian heat, long distances, gravel and corrugations can place extra demands on tyres. Inspect tread and sidewalls regularly, check pressures when tyres are cold, and adjust pressures only as recommended for the load and conditions. Heavy loads and towing may require different pressure settings from normal driving.
Budget tyres can cost less to buy, while premium tyres may offer different handling, noise, durability or wet-road characteristics. Compare the specifications rather than choosing by price alone. Tyroola compares budget through premium brands side by side, including Pirelli, Michelin, Continental, Yokohama, Kumho, Bridgestone and BFGoodrich.

Frequently asked questions
What are the best 4x4 & SUV tyres for highway driving?
Highway Terrain or road-focused touring tyres are usually the right starting point for mainly sealed-road driving. They are designed for smooth, quiet performance and stable handling at highway speeds. Check the tyre placard first, then compare the correct size, load index and speed rating. An All Terrain tyre may suit you better if regular gravel or light off-road driving is part of the plan.
Are All Terrain tyres good for everyday driving?
Yes, All Terrain tyres can suit everyday driving when you also use gravel roads, dirt tracks or beaches. They provide a compromise between sealed-road comfort and off-road traction. Compared with Highway Terrain tyres, they may be noisier and feel different on the road. Check that the selected size, load rating and speed rating meet your vehicle's requirements.
What tyre size does my 4x4 or SUV need?
Use the size printed on the current tyre sidewall or the vehicle's tyre placard. A size such as 265/65R17 identifies the width, profile and rim diameter. Do not rely on the vehicle model alone. Confirm the full size, load index and speed rating before ordering, particularly if the vehicle has different front and rear specifications.
Do I need Light Truck tyres for towing?
Not automatically. The correct choice depends on the vehicle, its approved loads, towing setup and tyre placard. A Light Truck construction may be appropriate for some heavily loaded 4x4s or towing applications, but it can change ride comfort, noise and handling. Confirm axle loads, towball download and required ratings with a qualified tyre professional before buying.
How much do 4x4 & SUV tyres cost in Australia?
Tyroola's listed 4x4 & SUV tyres range from $41 to $1,955 per tyre, in AUD and including GST. Price varies with size, brand, construction, tread type and intended use. Compare suitable budget, mid-range and premium options side by side, then allow for fitting and balancing if you send the tyres to a Tyroola fitting partner.
