Understanding the LT255/80R17 E size

In the size code 255/80R17, 255 is the section width in millimetres (about 10"). 80 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 80% of the width, or roughly 204 mm. R17 means radial construction on a 17-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 33.1".

The load index 121 means each tire supports up to 3,197 lbs — about 12,788 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.

Price and value

At $241.50 per tire, a full set of four costs $966.00. That sits close to the average for the 17 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 50,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $19.32 per 1,000 miles across the set.
