Match the vehicle placard or handbook first, then choose a tyre with the same or higher load index and the correct speed rating. This size is often sold in higher load specifications for pickups and 4x4s, including LT fitments such as 121/118. If you tow, carry heavy loads, or use a canopy and tools regularly, prioritise the approved load rating rather than choosing purely by price.
Choose road-focused tyres if most miles are on tarmac and you want lower noise, steadier handling and strong wet braking. All-terrain tyres suit regular gravel tracks, fields and wet grass, trading some refinement for extra bite and tougher shoulders. If you drive in severe winter conditions, look for a 3PMSF-marked option in this size so the tread and compound are designed for cold grip.
It depends on the vehicle and how it is used. LT tyres are built for higher loads and harsher use, making them common on pickups and heavily laden 4x4s, while standard or XL may suit lighter SUVs that are mainly road driven. Check whether your current tyres are marked LT or Extra Load and keep to the same construction unless your manufacturer approves a change.
Only if it is an approved size for your vehicle. Moving to a 70 profile increases overall diameter, which can affect speedometer accuracy, gearing, arch clearance and the spare wheel fit. Check the manufacturer-approved tyre sizes for your exact model and trim, and confirm any change with your insurer before ordering.
Confirm the full size, then check the load index and speed rating on the door placard or handbook. Make sure you select the right type for your use (road, all-terrain, or LT), and decide whether you want matching pairs or a full set for consistent handling. Finally, choose a fitting option that suits your schedule and inspect your wheels for damage or corrosion so the new tyres seal properly.
