Light Truck (LT) Tire Considerations
As a Light Truck (LT) tire, this Falken 265/70R16 Wildpeak H/T02 is built with a stronger internal construction to handle higher loads and tougher use. LT tires are commonly used on pickup trucks, vans, and SUVs that tow, haul, or carry heavier cargo. The SL rating indicates reinforced sidewalls designed to support higher inflation pressures and added durability.
Fitment Guidance
The easiest way to confirm that 265/70R16 is correct is to look at the tires currently on your vehicle and read the size directly from the sidewall. Also make sure the load index (112) and speed rating (T) meet or exceed what you're running now. If you're unsure, we're happy to help you confirm fitment before ordering.
