Understanding the 245/65R17 XL 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 111 means each tire supports up to 2,403 lbs — about 9,612 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 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T is built for

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