About the 255/70R16 size
Ford 1997-2003 truck size (30 in), S/T rated. Highway and A/T tread from most brands; supply is shrinking.
The numbers mean: 255 mm section width, sidewall height 70 % of that width, and a 16-inch rim. Overall diameter works out to about 30.1 inches. Any replacement has to match all three, and the load index and speed rating on your door sticker must be met or exceeded. Our guide on reading a tire size walks through it.

Frequently asked questions
How much do 255/70R16 tires cost?
Expect $104–$130 per tire for a budget brand, $130–$151 for a mid-range tire like the Hankook Dynapro HT (RH12), and $151–$216 for a premium tire like the Bridgestone Dueler H/T 684 II. A set of four therefore starts at about $416. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.
What vehicles use 255/70R16 tires?
255/70R16 is original equipment on Ford F-150 (1997-2003, XLT), Ford Expedition (1997-2002) and Lincoln Navigator (1998-2002, 16 in), among others. Always confirm with the sticker inside your driver's door, because trim levels and wheel packages can change the size.
What is the best 255/70R16 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Hankook Dynapro HT (RH12), is the sweet spot of price and tread life. If you keep the vehicle a long time or drive in heavy rain and snow, the Bridgestone Dueler H/T 684 II is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Ironman All Country A/T is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 255/70R16 tires?
On a front- or rear-wheel-drive car, yes: replace in pairs on the same axle and put the newer pair on the rear. On all-wheel-drive vehicles most makers want all four replaced together, or a new tire shaved to match, because a difference in circumference strains the drivetrain.
