Understanding the LT285/65R18 E size

In the size code 285/65R18, 285 is the section width in millimetres (about 11.2"). 65 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 65% of the width, or roughly 185.3 mm. R18 means radial construction on a 18-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 32.6".

The load index 125 means each tire supports up to 3,638 lbs — about 14,552 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.

What the Nitto Terra Grappler G2 is built for

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