About the LT215/85R16 size
Dually (DRW) size, load range E, 2,680 lb per tire. Highway and commercial tread only; six tires per truck. Classic side: also the 7.50-16 equivalent, which is the original split-rim size on a 1953-1966 F-100 and on an FJ40 with 16 in wheels. Tall and narrow is period-correct here, and the load range C and D versions carry more than the original bias tires did.
What the numbers on the sidewall mean
A LT215/85R16 tire is 215 millimeters wide, its sidewall is 85 percent of that (about 7.2 inches tall), and it mounts on a 16-inch wheel. That works out to an overall diameter of roughly 30.4 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. The LT prefix marks a light-truck tire built for heavier loads and higher pressures; the load range letter on the sidewall (C, D or E) should match what the placard calls for.
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
The Ironman All Country A/T, our budget pick here at $185.96, is also stocked in 225/75R16 ($173.96), 245/70R16 ($171.96), 245/75R16 ($183.96) and 255/70R16 ($133.96).

The Goodyear Wrangler Fortitude HT, our premium pick here at $224.97, is also stocked in 225/75R16 ($183.96). 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.
None of our picks in this size, the Ironman All Country A/T, carries the 3PMSF symbol; for that, look at the all-weather and winter tires.

Frequently asked questions
How much do LT215/85R16 tires cost?
Expect $104–$124 per tire for a budget brand, $124–$179 for a mid-range tire like the Cooper Discoverer AT3 LT, and $179–$261 for a premium tire like the Goodyear Wrangler Fortitude HT. A set of four therefore starts at about $416. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.
What vehicles use LT215/85R16 tires?
LT215/85R16 is original equipment on Ford F-350 DRW (1999-2004), Chevrolet Silverado 3500 DRW (2001-2010), Dodge Ram 3500 DRW (1994-2002), Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 DRW (2019-2024), Ford F-100 (1953-1966, 7.50-16 equivalent) and Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 (1960-1984, 7.50-16 equivalent), 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 LT215/85R16 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 Goodyear Wrangler Fortitude HT 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 LT215/85R16 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.
