About 245/65R17 Tires

The 245/65R17 tire size is commonly found on mid-size SUVs, crossovers, and light pickup trucks including the Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, Ford Explorer, Chevrolet Traverse, and Nissan Pathfinder. This size features a 245mm tread width, a 65% aspect ratio (meaning the sidewall height is 159mm or 65% of the 245mm width), and fits 17-inch diameter wheels. Most 245/65R17 tires carry load indexes ranging from 105-111 (corresponding to 2,028-2,403 lbs per tire) with common speed ratings of S (112 mph) or T (118 mph) for standard applications.

The 245/65R17 size strikes a balanced compromise between ride comfort and handling capability, with the taller 65% sidewall providing good impact absorption and noise dampening while maintaining reasonable steering response for family vehicles. Expect to pay $120-180 per tire for budget options, $180-280 for mid-range tires, and $280-400 for premium brands. This size enjoys excellent availability across all seasons, with robust selections in all-season, summer touring, and dedicated winter tire categories from major manufacturers. Due to the relatively high sidewall and typical vehicle weight, proper rotation every 5,000-7,500 miles and maintaining correct alignment are crucial for even wear, as these tires can show irregular wear patterns if suspension components are worn or alignment is off.
