About the LT235/80R17 size
The dominant dually size, load range E (3,000 lb per tire). Commercial highway tread (Michelin LTX, Firestone Transforce, Cooper HT3); buy six.
What the numbers on the sidewall mean
A LT235/80R17 tire is 235 millimeters wide, its sidewall is 80 percent of that (about 7.4 inches tall), and it mounts on a 17-inch wheel. That works out to an overall diameter of roughly 31.8 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.
What LT235/80R17 tires cost across the whole range

Those are per-tire prices before mounting and balancing, which adds $15 to $45 per tire at most shops, read from the retailer's feed Nov 13, 2026.
The same tires in neighboring sizes
The Lexani LXHT-206, our budget pick here at $127.96, is also stocked in 265/65R17 ($124.96) and LT235/85R16 ($128.96). The Continental TerrainContact A/T, our premium pick here at $263.99, is also stocked in 275/50R22 ($324.99). 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.

Frequently asked questions
How much do LT235/80R17 tires cost?
Expect $117–$149 per tire for a budget brand, $149–$207 for a mid-range tire like the Cooper Discoverer AT3 LT, and $207–$294 for a premium tire like the Continental TerrainContact A/T. A set of four therefore starts at about $468. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.
What vehicles use LT235/80R17 tires?
LT235/80R17 is original equipment on Ford F-350 DRW (2005-2024), Ram 3500 DRW (2003-2018), Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD DRW (2011-2019) and GMC Sierra 3500HD DRW (2011-2019), 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 LT235/80R17 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 Continental TerrainContact A/T is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Lexani LXHT-206 is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two LT235/80R17 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.
