About the 255/65R17 size
Colorado/Canyon size (30 in), S/T/H rated. Sits between crossover and truck lines; A/T and highway tread both available.
The numbers mean: 255 mm section width, sidewall height 65 % of that width, and a 17-inch rim. Overall diameter works out to about 30.1 inches. Any replacement has to match all three, and the load index and speed rating on your door sticker must be met or exceeded. Our guide on reading a tire size walks through it.

Frequently asked questions
How much do 255/65R17 tires cost?
Expect $112–$165 per tire for a budget brand, $165–$219 for a mid-range tire like the Cooper ProControl, and $219–$277 for a premium tire like the Michelin Defender LTX M/S2. A set of four therefore starts at about $448. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.
What vehicles use 255/65R17 tires?
255/65R17 is original equipment on Chevrolet Colorado (2015-2022, LT), GMC Canyon (2015-2022, SLE), Ford Explorer (2011-2019, upsize), Toyota Tacoma (2016-2023, upsize) and Jeep Wrangler JL (2018-2024, Sport upsize alternative), among others. Always confirm with the sticker inside your driver's door, because trim levels and wheel packages can change the size.
What is the best 255/65R17 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Cooper ProControl, is the sweet spot of price and tread life. If you keep the vehicle a long time or drive in heavy rain and snow, the Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Ironman All Country A/T is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 255/65R17 tires?
On a front- or rear-wheel-drive car, yes: replace in pairs on the same axle and put the newer pair on the rear. On all-wheel-drive vehicles most makers want all four replaced together, or a new tire shaved to match, because a difference in circumference strains the drivetrain.
