What 255/70R16 tires means
The code describes the tire's shape in a compact string. The 255 is the section width in millimeters (about 10.04 inches). The 70 is the aspect ratio, meaning the sidewall height is 70% of that width — roughly 178.5 mm, or about 7.03 inches tall. The R marks radial construction, and 16 is the wheel diameter in inches this tire mounts to.
Add two sidewalls to the rim and you get an overall diameter of about 30.06 inches, which turns roughly 671 times per mile. Those numbers matter: overall diameter drives speedometer accuracy and effective gearing, section width and sidewall height affect fender and suspension clearance, and a taller sidewall generally cushions ride quality over rough roads. Staying near this diameter when replacing tires keeps your speedometer honest.
Vehicles & uses
This is a light-truck and SUV size, commonly fitted to highway-terrain and all-terrain applications on trucks and utility vehicles. You'll see it offered in both smooth-riding highway patterns and more aggressive all-terrain treads. Because fitment varies by vehicle, confirm the size printed on your door placard or existing sidewall before ordering rather than assuming a specific model will accept it.

How to choose
Season
All-season tires balance year-round grip and are the most common choice in this size; dedicated winter tires trade some warm-weather life for cold-weather traction; all-terrain patterns add off-pavement bite at the cost of a little road noise.
Treadwear & UTQG
The UTQG rating summarizes treadwear, traction and temperature grades stamped on the sidewall. A higher treadwear number generally signals a compound built to last longer, though driving style and rotation matter too.
Load index & speed rating
Match or exceed the load index your vehicle requires — many tires in this size carry a 111 load index — and pick a speed rating equal to or above the original. Never drop below the manufacturer's specified ratings.
Warranty
Compare mileage warranties across models; a longer warranty often accompanies a longer-wearing compound and reflects the maker's expected tread life.
