Understanding the LT245/70R17 E size

In the size code 245/70R17, 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. R17 means radial construction on a 17-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 30.5".

The load index 119 means each tire supports up to 2,998 lbs — about 11,992 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 General Grabber APT is built for

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