Understanding the P245/65R17 size

In the size code 245/65R17, 245 is the section width in millimetres (about 9.6"). 65 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 65% of the width, or roughly 159.3 mm. R17 means radial construction on a 17-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 29.5".

The load index 105 means each tire supports up to 2,039 lbs — about 8,156 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 Firestone Destination A/T2 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 540 A B. The treadwear grade of 540 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 $166.49 per tire, a full set of four costs $665.96. That is about 10% above the average of the 111 tires we stock in this size, reflecting its position in the range. Backed by a 55,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $12.11 per 1,000 miles across the set.
