265/70R16 tires
265/70R16 is Toyota's long-running 16-inch truck size: the 4Runner SR5 from 2003 to 2009, the Tacoma TRD 4x4 through 2015, the first-generation Tundra and the Sequoia SR5 all used it, and so did the 2000 to 2006 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban. Below are real prices for 271 tires in stock, three picks from highway to all-terrain, and why the premium pick in this size is a different kind of tire from the other two.
Yes, this fits your Toyota Sequoia. 265/70R16 is the original size on the 2001-2007 Toyota Sequoia.
The sticker inside the driver's door is still the final word, because trim and wheel package can change the size. Back to every Toyota Sequoia size.

Three tires, two constructions
Look closely at the service descriptions of our picks. The Milestar and the Falken are P-metric or passenger-load tires with a single load index around 111 to 112, the construction Toyota and Chevrolet put on these trucks at the factory. The BFGoodrich is listed as 117/114S, a light-truck (LT) tire in load range D with a stiffer casing and a dual load index. Both kinds fit the same wheel, and the LT version is the stronger tire, but it is heavier, rides firmer and is meant to run at higher pressure than the P-metric pressures on a 4Runner or Tahoe placard.
That matters for the choice. If you tow near your truck's limit or drive rocky trails where sidewall cuts are the risk, the LT tire earns its premium. If the truck is a family hauler that sees gravel twice a year, a P-metric all-terrain or highway tire gives a softer ride and a longer warranty.
Room to grow: the common upsizes
At about 30.6 inches tall, 265/70R16 is a moderate size for these trucks, and owners who want more clearance usually move to 265/75R16, roughly 31 inches, or 285/75R16, close to 33. The bigger the jump, the more likely the truck needs a leveling kit, a lift or trimming, and a 33-inch tire on a truck built for 30.6 changes the speedometer reading by close to eight percent. If you stay at 265/70R16 you keep the factory spare usable, which on a truck that goes off-road is worth more than it sounds.
What the numbers on the sidewall mean
A 265/70R16 tire is 265 millimeters wide, its sidewall is 70 percent of that (about 7.3 inches tall), and it mounts on a 16-inch wheel. That works out to an overall diameter of roughly 30.6 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 111T on the Milestar Patagonia H/T (2,403 lb per tire, rated to 118 mph), 112T on the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W (2,469 lb per tire, rated to 118 mph) and 117/114S on the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 (2,833 lb per tire as a single, 2,601 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.

Milestar Patagonia H/T, $104.97. A highway tire rather than an all-terrain, with a 60,000-mile tread life warranty according to the retailer. It is the right budget choice for a Tahoe or Sequoia that never leaves the pavement: lighter and quieter than an all-terrain. It does not carry the snow symbol. A set of four is $419.88 before mounting.
Falken Wildpeak A/T4W, $226. The default for most owners of these Toyotas: an all-terrain that carries the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol and, in this 112T P-metric size, a 65,000-mile tread life warranty (60,000 on LT sizes). It keeps the factory ride while adding real gravel and snow traction.
BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3, $284.99. In this size the KO3 is a light-truck tire, load range D, marked 117/114S, with the 3PMSF symbol and a 50,000-mile warranty. It is the toughest tire on the page and the one to buy for heavy trail use or towing, at the cost of a firmer ride than the P-metric Falken.

The Milestar Patagonia H/T, our budget pick here at $104.97, is also stocked in 225/75R15 ($116.95). The Falken Wildpeak A/T4W, our mid-range pick here at $226, is also stocked in 265/70R18 ($298.06), 265/70R17 ($237), LT285/75R16 ($304) and 265/65R17 ($247.96).

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.
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 265/70R16 tires cost?
Expect $112–$139 per tire for a budget brand, $139–$179 for a mid-range tire like the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W, and $179–$255 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 265/70R16 tires?
265/70R16 is original equipment on Toyota 4Runner (2003-2009, SR5), Toyota Tacoma (2005-2015, TRD 4x4), Toyota Tundra (2000-2006), Chevrolet Tahoe (2000-2006), Chevrolet Suburban (2000-2006), Nissan Pathfinder (2005-2007, SE) and Toyota Sequoia (2001-2007, SR5), 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 265/70R16 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 Milestar Patagonia H/T is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 265/70R16 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.
