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.
What the numbers on the sidewall mean
A 255/70R17 tire is 255 millimeters wide, its sidewall is 70 percent of that (about 7.0 inches tall), and it mounts on a 17-inch wheel. That works out to an overall diameter of roughly 31.1 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 112T on the Ironman All Country HT 4S (2,469 lb per tire, rated to 118 mph) and 116/113S on the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 (2,756 lb per tire as a single, 2,535 lb in a dual fitment, rated to 112 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.

The same tires in neighboring sizes

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. Prices per tire, from the retailer's feed Nov 13, 2026.
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.
All of our picks here, the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W and BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3, carry the 3PMSF symbol.

Frequently asked questions
How much do 255/70R17 tires cost?
Expect $112–$154 per tire for a budget brand, $154–$207 for a mid-range tire like the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W, and $207–$261 for a premium tire like the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3. A set of four therefore starts at about $448. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.
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) and 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 HT 4S 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.
