LT275/70R17 tires

LT275/70R17 is a 32-inch light-truck size on 17-inch wheels, load range E. Tiresize.com does not list it as a factory size on the trucks named below: the F-250 and Ram 2500 of those years came on 265/70R17 or 275/70R18. It is bought as a taller, wider replacement for 265/70R17 on three-quarter-ton trucks and as a 32-inch option for lifted Wranglers. Below are real prices for the 29 tires in stock and three all-terrain picks.

What LT275/70R17 tires cost

Prices are per tire, before mounting and balancing. A set of four in the mid range comes to roughly $1,118 to $1,236, and a brand rebate can take another $50 to $110 off, see this month's deals.

A small size with a narrow selection

Only 35 tires are listed in this size, far fewer than in 265/70R17 or LT275/70R18, which is why prices sit higher and the gap between the lowest price and the median is small. The upside is that what is offered is mostly serious all-terrain and mud-terrain tread from the main brands, all in load range E with a 124/121 load index.

On a three-quarter-ton truck that came with 265/70R17, moving to this size adds about half an inch of height and some width. Check the clearance at full lock and with the suspension compressed, and expect the speedometer to read about two percent slow.

A 32-inch tire for a Wrangler

On a JK Wrangler, which came on 255/75R17, this size is a 32-inch upgrade that keeps the 17-inch wheels. The catch is the casing: load range E is built for heavy trucks, and on a light Jeep it rides firmly unless you lower the pressure to suit the vehicle's weight. If ride comfort matters more than load capacity, a 32- or 33-inch size offered in load range C or D is the gentler choice.

Whatever the vehicle, mount and balance the set together and recheck the lug nuts after the first 50 to 100 miles, as tire shops recommend after any wheel or tire change.

What the numbers on the sidewall mean

A LT275/70R17 tire is 275 millimeters wide, its sidewall is 70 percent of that (about 7.6 inches tall), and it mounts on a 17-inch wheel. That works out to an overall diameter of roughly 32.2 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 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.

Atturo Trail Blade ATS, $206.96. Atturo's all-terrain, listed here as, the lowest-priced tire in this size. The retailer gives a 50,000-mile warranty and a 540 treadwear grade in a representative size. In this small size the budget tire costs much more than budget tires usually do.

Nexen Roadian ATX, $279. Nexen's all-terrain carries the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol on replacement and flotation sizes and a 60,000-mile warranty on LT sizes. It is listed as here, and tiresize.com shows 65,000 miles for this size; read the warranty terms on the listing.

BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3, $328.99. The newest BFGoodrich all-terrain, with the 3PMSF symbol and a 50,000-mile warranty, here as a load range E tire. It is the toughest choice of the three for a work truck that also sees trails.

What LT275/70R17 tires cost across the whole range

Of the 35 tires listed in this size, 29 are in stock today. The median is $298.99; a third of the tires cost $279.55 or less, and the top five percent start above $358.86. 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 BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3, our premium pick here at $328.99, is also stocked in 35x12.50R17 ($523.99), LT265/70R17 ($278.99), LT245/75R16 ($264.99) and LT265/70R18 ($323.99). 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.

All of our picks here, the Nexen Roadian ATX and BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3, carry the 3PMSF symbol.

Frequently asked questions

How much do LT275/70R17 tires cost?

Expect $203–$280 per tire for a budget brand, $280–$309 for a mid-range tire like the Nexen Roadian ATX, and $309–$359 for a premium tire like the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3. A set of four therefore starts at about $812. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.

What vehicles use LT275/70R17 tires?

LT275/70R17 is original equipment on Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD (2011-2019, upsize) and Jeep Wrangler JK (2007-2018, 32 in upsize), 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 LT275/70R17 tire?

For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Nexen Roadian ATX, 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 Atturo Trail Blade ATS is a sound choice.

Can I replace just one or two LT275/70R17 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.
