About the LT265/70R17 size
Load range E (3,195 lb) version of the top truck size; heavier and stiffer than P-metric. A/T tread for HD trucks, also used on 4Runners and Tacomas that carry loads.
The numbers mean: 265 mm section width, sidewall height 70 % of that width, and a 17-inch rim. Overall diameter works out to about 31.6 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 LT265/70R17 tires?
LT265/70R17 is original equipment on Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD (2011-2019, LT), GMC Sierra 2500HD (2011-2019, SLE), Ram 2500 (2003-2009), Ford F-250 (2005-2010, XLT 17 in) and Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro (2015-2024, upsize alternative), among others.

What is the best LT265/70R17 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Cooper Discoverer AT3 LT, 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 LT265/70R17 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.
