The 265/65R17 is a common tire size for trucks and large SUVs such as Toyota 4Runner, Jeep Wrangler, and Ford F-150.
With a 172.3 mm sidewall (65% aspect ratio), this tire provides a smooth, cushioned ride that absorbs road imperfections well — ideal for daily commuting and highway cruising.
Compared to the baseline 225/50R17, this tire's overall diameter differs by +18.2% — a speedometer calibrated for 225/50R17 would read 84.6 km/h at an actual 100 km/h.
OE on the Toyota Tacoma (2005-2015 Pre Runner) and Ford Ranger (T6 Lariat). Load index 110S or 112T reinforced. A frequent target for mild lift kits — clearance is generally fine without trimming on most pickups.
Truck sizes here are often P-metric on lighter trims and LT-metric on tow-rated specifications — the difference matters. LT versions in load range D or E carry roughly 30-40% more vertical load and tolerate the off-axis stresses of bumper-pull towing. Verify the door-jamb placard for the originally specified construction; mixing P and LT on the same axle is dangerous and voids warranty on most pickups.
