Buy light truck & van tyres online from 1,629 products across 73 brands, with prices from $55 to $902 per tyre, including GST. Compare budget, mid-range and premium options by size, brand or tread pattern. Check the width, profile, rim size, load index and speed rating on your tyre sidewall or vehicle tyre placard before ordering. Tyres can be delivered Australia-wide or sent to a Tyroola fitting partner nationwide for fitting and balancing.
Choose the correct size and rating
Start with the size printed on the current tyre, such as 225/75R16, or check the vehicle tyre placard. The placard also lists the required load and speed ratings. Search by width, profile and rim size, then compare the complete marking on each tyre.
The load index is the number in the sidewall marking and shows the maximum load for one tyre. Choose a rating that meets or exceeds the vehicle requirement, especially for a loaded van, ute, caravan or trailer. The speed rating is the letter and must also meet the placard requirement. Do not choose by size alone.
Match the tread to your driving
Highway terrain tyres suit sealed roads, regular commuting and long-distance work. They usually focus on road comfort, wet grip and even wear. All terrain tyres are a practical choice for mixed bitumen, gravel roads, worksites and rural driving. They have more open tread than highway patterns.
Mud terrain tyres are designed for loose or muddy surfaces and can provide stronger traction off-road, but may be noisier on sealed roads. Rugged terrain patterns sit between all terrain and mud terrain designs. Touring, summer and all season options may suit drivers who spend most of their time on urban and highway roads.
Consider Australian loads and conditions
Heat, heavy cargo, towing and long distances all increase tyre workload. Check the vehicle's axle limits and keep pressures at the recommended setting, adjusting only as advised for the load and conditions. A light truck or commercial construction may be suitable where the vehicle regularly carries equipment or travels on rough roads.
For gravel and regional work, look for a tread and sidewall suited to sharp stones and uneven surfaces. Inspect tyres after trips for cuts, bulges and lodged stones. Rotate tyres as recommended and replace damaged tyres rather than continuing to use them.
Compare budget and premium options
Budget tyres can reduce the purchase cost and may suit lighter use, lower annual kilometres and mainly sealed roads. Premium tyres often cost more and may offer different construction, tread design, handling or wear characteristics. The right choice depends on load, distance, road surface and how often the vehicle is used.

Frequently asked questions
What are light truck and van tyres?
Light truck and van tyres are designed for commercial vans, utes, 4WDs, caravans and other vehicles that may carry heavier loads or travel on rougher roads. They can have higher load ratings, reinforced construction or tougher tread designs than passenger tyres. Check the vehicle placard before choosing an LT or commercial tyre, because the correct size and rating still depend on the vehicle.
How do I choose light truck and van tyres?
Check the tyre sidewall or vehicle tyre placard for the approved size, load index and speed rating. Then consider how the vehicle is used. Highway terrain suits mostly sealed roads, all terrain suits mixed roads and gravel, and mud terrain suits frequent loose or muddy surfaces. Consider cargo, towing, kilometres travelled, heat and road conditions before comparing brands and prices.
What load rating do I need for a van or ute?
Choose a load index that meets or exceeds the vehicle tyre placard requirement. The load index shows the maximum load carried by one tyre at the correct pressure. Allow for passengers, cargo, towball download and axle limits when checking the vehicle's total load. A higher rating is not a substitute for staying within the vehicle's legal axle and gross vehicle limits.
Are all terrain tyres good for gravel roads and towing?
All terrain tyres can suit vehicles that travel between sealed roads, gravel roads and worksites. They may provide more bite and protection than highway patterns, but they are not automatically the best choice for every towing setup. Confirm the load and speed ratings, check the manufacturer's recommendations and maintain the correct pressure for the vehicle's load and road conditions.
How much do light truck and van tyres cost?
On this page, prices range from $55 to $902 per tyre, in AUD and including GST. The final choice depends on size, load rating, brand, tread pattern and stock. Compare tyres with the same required markings rather than comparing price alone. Tyres can be delivered Australia-wide or sent to a Tyroola fitting partner near you for fitting and balancing.
