265/75/16 Car & Truck Off Road Tires

Equip Yourself With 265-75-16 Off-Road Tires

Having durable off-road tires on your vehicle can help you conquer the trail. Certain cars, trucks, and SUVs are designed to be used with size 265-75-16 tires. Off-road models will be designed to handle the uneven terrain that you find when you leave the pavement behind.

On eBay, these inexpensive all-terrain tires come with several unique features. These include:

• Biting edges: Some are built with patterned edges on the sidewalls to help the tire laterally grip the terrain.
• Siped treads: When there are slits cut across a tires surface, those are known as siped treads. They can improve a vehicles traction in slippery conditions.
• Tread tie-bars: These run perpendicular to the treads and can work to stabilize them.
• Reinforced sidewalls: Some are made with two-ply or three-ply sidewalls to increase protection against punctures.

All of the tires in this category are going to have the same width, aspect ratio, and wheel diameter. How they can be categorized is by:

• Tire type: At the beginning of the tire sizing description on the sidewall, tires are either marked with P, LT, or nothing at all. "P" means that it is intended to be used on a passenger vehicle, "LT" means that its designed for light trucks, and having no letter at all means that its a Euro-metric tire. LT tires may be more expensive, but theyre also built with thicker reinforcements which can help provide stability on rugged terrain.
• Speed rating: This tells you the maximum speed that they can go. The higher the letter, in relation to the alphabet, the greater the maximum speed. Remember that off-road vehicles dont necessarily need to travel at high speeds. Many off-road tires available on eBay have ratings anywhere from L to S.
• Load index: This describes the maximum load that they can support. Load index starts around 75 and can go up to 120. Higher numbers indicate a higher load capacity. Its something to think about if you carry a lot of cargo in your truck.
