Understanding the LT315/70R17 E size

In the size code 315/70R17, 315 is the section width in millimetres (about 12.4"). 70 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 70% of the width, or roughly 220.5 mm. R17 means radial construction on a 17-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 34.4".

The load index 121 means each tire supports up to 3,197 lbs — about 12,788 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol R certifies the tire to 106 mph under its rated load. Always match or exceed the load index and speed rating listed on your vehicle's door-jamb placard.
