These cargo tires are perfect for my low-profile car trailer. I had them balanced upon installation and after over 10,000 miles over all types of terrain they have not show wear. They are a well made tire and I absolutely recommend them.

In the passenger tire world, all-season tires take up a full 84 percent of tire sales, and for good reason. All-season tires make the most sense for most drivers; you can depend on them for consistent grip year-round, capable handling and cornering, good road manners and driver feedback, great wear properties with a generous limited manufacturer’s tread life warranty, and ride quality that’s forgiving and quiet on the highway. Highway-terrain light truck tires like the JK Tyre American Cargo X11M can be thought of as the light truck equivalent of all-season passenger tires; they have a lot of common ground when it comes to tread design, tread compound, and overall performance targets, but with beefed-up construction that can easily accommodate the extra weight and load capacity needed for a light truck or SUV.
The JK Tyre American Cargo X11M is a light truck highway terrain tire that delivers premium-brand levels of quality and performance but at a surprisingly affordable price. It’s designed to check all the boxes we mentioned above for all-season passenger tires but with enhanced durability and an internal design that’s optimized for use on light trucks. Let’s go in and take a closer look at this JK Tyre American Cargo X11M tire review:
Features and Benefits
Here are some of the design features that make the JK Tyre American Cargo X11M a great value and a great performer for light trucks and SUVs:
- All-season tread design for year-round performance, with four wide circumferential grooves that work as a system with angled and lateral grooves to channel water away from the tire’s contact patch, resisting hydroplaning on wet roads
- Designed with a durable, damage-resistant tread compound that’s designed for long wear and dependable traction
- Tread contact patch is optimized to put more rubber in contact with the road for improved traction, handling, braking, and wear properties
- Dense pattern of sipes in the tread design, multiplying the tread’s surface area and traction with hundreds of thin biting edges that chew through snow, slush, standing water
- Tread pitch is randomized and computer tuned to lower road noise by breaking up select frequencies and overtones
- Internal construction is reinforced and sturdy enough for the weight, power, torque and driving dynamics of light trucks
- Large shoulder blocks are reinforced for rigidity and enhanced cornering and steering response
- Tread depth 12/32” for long wear, dependable traction
- 6 ply rated
- Select sizes feature a great-looking white letter sidewall
Pros and Cons
PROS:
- Durable enough for use as a commercial tire
- Dependable year-round grip with great road manners and handling
- Ride quality is compliant with low noise

SimpleTire’s view on JK Tyre American Cargo X11M Tires
Are you familiar with SimpleScore? SimpleScore is SimpleTire’s ratings system that our team developed to give you a quick, at-a-glance idea of a tire’s strengths and weaknesses. We look at manufacturer info, the tire’s specs, customer reviews and other data points, then take all that information and process it to a 1-10 numerical value for the categories of traction, handling, longevity and an overall average SimpleScore for all the categories. For the JK Tyre, the SimpleScore numbers look like this:
JK Tyre American Cargo X11M:
- Traction: 7.5
- Handling: 7.4
- Longevity: 7.2
- Overall average SimpleScore: 7.4
Those are some pretty impressive SimpleScore numbers, especially for a tire that starts at just $72.97 each. The JK Tyre American Cargo X11M’s enhanced internal design makes it a great choice for commercial duty, with a 6-ply rating and extra load capacity for heavier hauling jobs. On the highway, the JK Tyre is composed and civilized, with good straight-line stability and road manners. It’s never sluggish, though; steering response is crisp and direct, and cornering ability is accurate and predictable, if maybe not up to what you might expect from a performance tire.
On wet roads, the JK Tyre is confident and secure, and its long-wearing tread compound is also designed for enhanced grip on wet pavement. Ride quality is refined, if a little firm at times, and the JK Tyre never loses its composure or gets jittery on irregular pavement. Noise levels are low as well, although the tire can generate pattern noise on some pavement surfaces (but never too intrusive).
It’s true that the JK Tyre American Cargo X11M doesn’t perform well in off-road conditions or in heavy snow and slush, but that’s not really what a tire like this was designed for to start with. And while the JK Tyre doesn’t feature a limited manufacturer’s tread life warranty, reviews from SimpleTire customers indicate that it has excellent wear properties and is a dependable tire with a long service life. All in all, it’s our opinion here at the SimpleTire team that the JK Tyre American Cargo X11M is a great value in an affordable highway terrain tire for light trucks and SUVs, and can far outperform expectations, especially considering its price point.

We had to replace the original tires that had 40k miles on them. Many people complained about the tread life, but my truck runs mostly empty with occasional heavy loads. I also do a lot of highway driving, so this may have an impact on tread wear with less potholes, etc. The specs on the web site were not clear and I had to contact SimpleTire for confirmation that these would fit the Chevy CitiExpress minivan as the metric/weight rating was not listed correctly. The new tires have about 2000 miles, and I could see an improvement in handling and traction in dry and wet conditions. We actually bought 6 tires just in case of any flats we have them on hand. As a Costco member, we had them installed at Costco for $11 each.
This is a great place to buy tires , stress free get installed almost anywhere...
These are the OEM replacement tires for the Nissan NV200/ Chevrolet City Express vans. SimpleTire is the only seller I have been able to find selling these tires outside of a Nissan/Chevy dealership. The pricing is good. The tires are good, but a fairly short life which is to be expected with these vans as they eat through tires. My last replacements where Continental Vanco4Season which were much more expensive and only lasted a little longer than these OEM tires.
