How to Choose Lionhart Tires

Choose Lionhart tires by deciding first whether the vehicle belongs in the performance passenger branch, the Lionclaw light-truck and off-road branch, the trailer branch, or the commercial branch. Lionhart's own site publishes those as top-level paths and uses the Lionclaw name specifically for its light-truck and off-road products.

• If the vehicle is a passenger car or performance-oriented fitment, the right starting point is LH-FIVE for UHP all-season use, or LH-503 for high-performance all-season touring. Lionhart publishes these as performance products, which makes them a different choice from utility, trailer, or truck families.
• If the use case is light truck, SUV, or off-road, the selection should begin in Lionhart's Lionclaw branch, which includes the LH-TEN for trucks and crossovers and dedicated all-terrain and off-road variants. Lionhart explicitly separates this from its passenger performance line at the top level.
• If the use case is a trailer or commercial, those are separate catalog branches. The LH-CTS covers trailer use, and the LH-550 covers commercial truck applications - neither is a variant of the passenger performance line.

Lionhart is easier to choose than many broad catalogs because it already tells you the first cut: performance passenger, Lionclaw light-truck/off-road, trailer, or commercial.

Popular Lionhart Tire Sizes for Performance Cars & Street Fitments

Lionhart's size range is broader than most value brands because it serves performance passenger, truck/SUV, and street fitment markets simultaneously. Sizes vary significantly by line, so the correct starting point is matching the size to the right branch.

•  225/45R17 - performance passenger fitment, common on Volkswagen Jetta GLI and Mazda3, sits in the LH-FIVE and LH-503 passenger performance range
•  255/40R18- street-performance size, common on Subaru WRX and Ford Mustang, core LH-FIVE fitment
•  255/55R18 - SUV and crossover size, common on Ford Explorer and Jeep Grand Cherokee, fits the LH-TEN truck/SUV line
•  275/55R20- light-truck and SUV fitment, common on Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Tahoe, belongs in the LH-TEN and Lionclaw branch rather than the passenger performance lines
•  275/65R18 - truck and SUV size for larger platforms, common on Ram 1500 and GMC Sierra, sits in Lionhart's light-truck range

Lionhart's passenger performance sizes (LH-FIVE, LH-503) concentrate in lower-profile 17"–22" fitments oriented toward sport and stance use. The LH-TEN and Lionclaw lines cover the truck and SUV side in larger diameter and higher-profile sizes. Buyers should confirm which branch their size falls under before selecting, since the tread design and construction intent differ between the two sides of the catalog.
