245/70R17 tires

245/70R17 is the work-truck and base-SUV version of the 17-inch truck sizes. The Ford F-150 XL on 17-inch wheels used it in the 2015 to 2020 generation, and the Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo wore it through most of the 2010s. It is narrower than the more common 265/70R17, which makes it cheaper and lighter. Below are real prices for 180 tires in stock, three picks with their size-specific specifications, and what to know before you move up a size.

What 245/70R17 tires cost

Prices are per tire, before mounting and balancing. A set of four in the mid range comes to roughly $552 to $740, and a brand rebate can take another $50 to $110 off, see this month's deals.

Staying at 245 or moving up to 265/70R17

Many owners replace 245/70R17 with 265/70R17 for a wider stance and more tread on the ground. The 265 is about 1.1 inches taller and 0.8 inch wider, so the speedometer reads roughly three percent slow, and a wider tire needs clearance at full steering lock. The price difference also runs the other way: the 265 is the higher-volume size, so you often get more choice there, but the 245 tires are lighter, and every pound less per corner helps ride and fuel use.

If the truck mostly sees pavement, the factory width is the better buy. If you want the look and the bigger footprint, check clearance at full lock and with the suspension compressed before you order.

P-metric or LT in this size

Both the F-150 XL and the Grand Cherokee came on P-metric tires with an S or T speed rating. The size is also sold as LT245/70R17 in load range C and E for heavier work, but those tires need higher pressures and ride stiffer. Our three picks are P-metric or XL passenger-type construction: the Falken is an extra-load tire rated 114T in this size, the Ironman and Goodyear are standard-load 110T.

Two of the three carry the 3PMSF snow symbol in this size, which matters if you drive mountain passes with chain or traction laws; the Ironman highway tire does not.

What the numbers on the sidewall mean

A 245/70R17 tire is 245 millimeters wide, its sidewall is 70 percent of that (about 6.8 inches tall), and it mounts on a 17-inch wheel. That works out to an overall diameter of roughly 30.5 inches. Every replacement has to match all three numbers, and the load index and speed rating on the placard inside the driver's door have to be met or exceeded.

In this size our picks are marked 110T on the Ironman All Country H/T and Goodyear Wrangler Workhorse AT (2,337 lb per tire, rated to 118 mph) and 114T on the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W (2,601 lb per tire, rated to 118 mph). The first number is the load index, the letter the speed rating; a tire with equal or higher values than your placard is fine, a lower one is not.

Our guide on reading a tire size walks through the markings, and this one lists every load index and speed code.

Our three picks, side by side

One tire at each price level from what the retailer stocks in this size, with the mileage warranty and UTQG grades as published by the manufacturers and their retailers. Treadwear is the number to compare: it is a relative wear rate, so 700 should last roughly twice as long as 350 on the same car.

Ironman All Country H/T, $129.96. A quiet highway tread for the F-150 XL or Grand Cherokee that never leaves pavement. In 245/70R17 it is a standard-load 110T with 10.5/32 inch of tread, graded 500 A B, and the listing shows a 55,000-mile warranty. No 3PMSF symbol.

Falken Wildpeak A/T4W, $255. The strongest specification of the three: an extra-load 114T all-terrain with 13/32 inch of tread, a 660 A B grade, the 3PMSF symbol and a 65,000-mile warranty. It is also the heaviest, at 40.9 pounds.

Goodyear Wrangler Workhorse AT, $214.96. Goodyear's work-truck all-terrain, designed for pickups that alternate between highway and job site. In this size it is a 110T standard-load tire, graded 580 B B, with the 3PMSF symbol and a 50,000-mile warranty. At 32.9 pounds it is eight pounds lighter than the Falken.

The same tires in neighboring sizes

The Falken Wildpeak A/T4W, our mid-range pick here at $255, is also stocked in 265/65R17 ($247.96), 265/70R17 ($237), 265/70R16 ($226) and 265/70R18 ($298.06).

Useful if your vehicle came with a different wheel package, or if you are comparing an upsize: the same tire usually costs more per inch of wheel, not per inch of rubber.

Winter on a pickup in this size

Four-wheel-drive pickups satisfy Colorado's Passenger Vehicle Traction Law on the 126 miles of I-70 between Dotsero and Morrison, in force from September 1 to May 31, on the vehicle alone, provided the tires have at least 3/16 inch of tread. A two-wheel-drive truck, still common in work trims, must be on tires marked M+S, 3PMSF or rated all-weather by the manufacturer. Fines start at $130. Nearly every all-terrain tire carries the M+S marking, and the better ones now also carry the 3PMSF symbol, which requires a tested level of snow traction rather than just a tread pattern. An unloaded pickup is light over its rear axle, so on snow the rear tires lose grip first; a few hundred pounds of ballast in the bed over the axle does as much as the tire choice.

Our pick the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W carries the 3PMSF symbol.

Frequently asked questions

How much do 245/70R17 tires cost?

Expect $108–$138 per tire for a budget brand, $138–$185 for a mid-range tire like the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W, and $185–$249 for a premium tire like the Goodyear Wrangler Workhorse AT. A set of four therefore starts at about $432. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.

What vehicles use 245/70R17 tires?

245/70R17 is original equipment on Ford F-150 (2015-2024, XL 17 in), Toyota 4Runner (2010-2024, upsize), Jeep Grand Cherokee (2011-2020, Laredo 17 in) and Honda Passport (2019-2024, upsize), 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 245/70R17 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 Goodyear Wrangler Workhorse AT is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Ironman All Country H/T is a sound choice.

Can I replace just one or two 245/70R17 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.
