Understanding the 265/70R16 size

In the size code 265/70R16, 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. R16 means radial construction on a 16-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 30.6".

The load index 112 means each tire supports up to 2,469 lbs — about 9,876 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 APT is built for

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

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 520 A B. The treadwear grade of 520 is a relative durability score — a grade of 200 is expected to last roughly twice as long as a grade of 100 under the same controlled test. Traction grade A measures straight-line wet stopping grip (AA is highest, then A, B and C). Temperature grade B reflects heat resistance at sustained speed (A is highest).

Price and value

At $167.24 per tire, a full set of four costs $668.96. That sits close to the average for the 95 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 60,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $11.15 per 1,000 miles across the set.
