About the LT245/75R16 size
The commercial van size, load range E (3,042 lb). Highway/commercial tread dominates (Defender LTX M/S2, Firestone Transforce, Cooper Discoverer HT3); fleets buy on price.
The numbers mean: 245 mm section width, sidewall height 75 % of that width, and a 16-inch rim. Overall diameter works out to about 30.5 inches. Any replacement has to match all three, and the load index and speed rating on your door sticker must be met or exceeded. Our guide on reading a tire size walks through it.

Frequently asked questions

What vehicles use LT245/75R16 tires?
LT245/75R16 is original equipment on Ford E-250/E-350 (1997-2014), Chevrolet Express 2500/3500 (1996-2024), GMC Savana 2500/3500 (1996-2024), Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD (2001-2010, base), GMC Sierra 2500HD (2001-2010, base), Ford Transit 350 (2015-2024, upsize alternative), 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 LT245/75R16 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 BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 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 LT245/75R16 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.
