About the 255/70R17 size
GM half-ton base size (31 in), S/T rated, sold in P-metric and LT. Big volume with fleet buyers; A/T tread dominates.
The numbers mean: 255 mm section width, sidewall height 70 % of that width, and a 17-inch rim. Overall diameter works out to about 31.1 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.

What vehicles use 255/70R17 tires?
255/70R17 is original equipment on Ford F-150 (2004-2008, XLT), Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (2014-2018, WT/LS 17 in), GMC Sierra 1500 (2014-2018, base), Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (2019-2024, WT 17 in), Ford Bronco (2021-2024, Big Bend/Outer Banks 17 in), 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 255/70R17 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W, 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 BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 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 255/70R17 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.
