Typical use
Larger pickups, SUVs and 4x4 applications using 17-inch wheels.
Selection priorities
- Load capacity.
- H/T versus A/T use.
- Tread strength for rough roads.
- Noise and road comfort for daily driving.
Do not confuse rugged with better
A more aggressive tread is useful only when the driving conditions require it. For predominantly paved-road use, a road/H/T design may deliver a more comfortable and quieter result.
Fitment considerations
This size has a larger overall diameter than 265/65R17. Do not interchange the two without confirming clearance and vehicle compatibility.
Brands to ask about for this size
