What 265/70R16 tires means
The size code breaks down into three exact measurements. The first number, 265, is the section width in millimeters — about 10.43 inches across the widest part of the tire. The 70 is the aspect ratio, meaning the sidewall height is 70% of that width, which works out to roughly 185.5 mm (7.3 inches) tall. The 16 is the wheel diameter in inches the tire is built to mount on.
Add two sidewalls to the rim and you get an overall tire diameter of about 30.61 inches, and at that size the tire turns roughly 659 revolutions per mile. Those figures matter because they set your speedometer accuracy, the clearance inside your wheel wells, and the ride feel — a taller sidewall like this one absorbs bumps and protects the rim on rough roads. Staying true to the factory diameter keeps your speedometer and odometer honest.
Vehicles & uses
This is a classic light-truck and SUV size, offering a wide footprint for grip and a tall sidewall for comfort. It commonly serves pickups, crossovers, and body-on-frame SUVs used for a mix of daily driving, towing, and light off-road duty. If it came on your vehicle from the factory, matching the exact size keeps handling and gearing as designed. Always confirm the size and required load rating on your door placard before ordering.

How to choose
Season
Pick summer tires for warm-weather grip, all-season tires for year-round versatility, or dedicated winter tires for the best traction in snow and ice. All-terrain models split the difference for owners who leave the pavement.
Treadwear & UTQG
The UTQG rating shows treadwear, traction, and temperature grades. A higher treadwear number generally suggests longer expected mileage, but always compare within similar tire types.
Load index & speed rating
The load index and speed rating (the service description that follows the size, such as the 112 seen on many options here) tell you the maximum weight capacity and top rated speed. Match or exceed what your vehicle requires — never go below the placard's specified load.
Warranty
Compare each maker's mileage and road-hazard coverage, since terms vary from model to model.
