Understanding the 265/70R17 XL size

In the size code 265/70R17, 265 is the section width in millimetres (about 10.4"). 70 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 70% of the width, or roughly 185.5 mm. R17 means radial construction on a 17-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 31.6".

The load index 116 means each tire supports up to 2,756 lbs — about 11,024 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol T certifies the tire to 118 mph under its rated load. Always match or exceed the load index and speed rating listed on your vehicle's door-jamb placard.

What the General Grabber Arctic is built for

It carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol, meaning it passed a standardised severe-snow traction test.
