Understanding the 245/70R16 size

In the size code 245/70R16, 245 is the section width in millimetres (about 9.6"). 70 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 70% of the width, or roughly 171.5 mm. R16 means radial construction on a 16-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 29.5".

The load index 107 means each tire supports up to 2,149 lbs — about 8,596 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.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 700 A B. The treadwear grade of 700 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 $121.50 per tire, a full set of four costs $486.00. That is about 13% below the average price of the 46 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 70,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $6.94 per 1,000 miles across the set.
