What 245/70R16 tires means
The code breaks down into exact measurements. The 245 is the section width in millimeters (245 mm, or about 9.65 inches) at the widest point of the tire. The 70 is the aspect ratio, meaning the sidewall height is 70% of the section width — that works out to 171.5 mm, or roughly 6.75 inches. The R16 means radial construction on a 16-inch wheel.
Add the sidewall on both sides to the rim and you get an overall diameter of about 29.5 inches, which turns roughly 684 revolutions per mile. Those numbers matter to you: overall diameter drives speedometer accuracy and clearance in the wheel well, while the tall 6.75-inch sidewall cushions bumps for a more comfortable ride. Staying close to the factory diameter keeps your speedometer honest.
Vehicles & uses
This is a common SUV and crossover size, frequently found on mid-size sport-utility vehicles and light trucks. The moderate width balances handling and grip, while the tall sidewall favors ride comfort and light off-pavement duty. Confirm the size printed on your door placard or current sidewall before buying, since trims within a model line can differ.

How to choose
Season
All-season tires are the most versatile choice for year-round driving. If you face real snow and ice, a dedicated winter tire will grip far better in the cold; summer tires trade cold-weather ability for warm-weather performance.
Treadwear & UTQG
The UTQG rating shows treadwear, traction and temperature grades. A higher treadwear number generally suggests a longer-lasting compound, useful for comparing similar tires.
Load index & speed rating
Match or exceed the load index and speed rating your vehicle requires — many tires in this size carry a 107 load index. Never drop below the specification your vehicle calls for.
Warranty
Check each tire's mileage warranty and road-hazard coverage, which vary by brand and model.
