The 265/70R17 tire size means that the tire has a width of 265 millimeters, a sidewall height of 70% of the width, and a 17-inch diameter. This is a common size for SUVs and trucks. The letter R in size means that it is a radial tire.
Tire Width
The main difference between these two sizes is the width. The 295/70R17 tire is 30 millimeters wider than the 265/70R17 tire.
This may not seem like much, but it can make a big difference in your vehicle’s performance.
A wider tire will offer better grip and handling, but it will also be more expensive. If you are looking for the best performance, a wider tire is the way to go. However, if you are looking for a more economical option, the 265/70R17 tire is the better choice.
Aspect Ratio
The aspect ratio is the second number in the tire size. This number tells you the height of the sidewall as a percentage of the width. In this case, the 295/70R17 tire has a sidewall height of 70% of the width. This means that it is a little bit taller than the 265/70R17 tire.
So, the Aspect Ratio of 295 70r17 is 70% which is 206.5 and the Aspect Ratio of 265/70R17 is 70% which is 185.5mm. The difference in aspect ratio between the two tires is 21mm.
Construction Type
The last letter in the tire size tells you the construction type of the tire. In this case, both tires are radial.
Radial tires are the most common type of tire on the market today. They offer good fuel efficiency and handling. The difference in construction type between the two tires is not significant. Both the 295/70R17 and 265/70R17 tires are good choices for SUVs and trucks.
Rim Size
The final difference between these two tire sizes is the rim size. The 295/70R17 tire requires a 17-inch rim. The 265/70R17 tire can be used with either a 16- or 17-inch rim. Both tires can use a 17-inch rim.
Circumference
The circumference of the 295 70r17 is 104.49,” and the circumference of the 265/70R17 is 99.29″. The difference in circumference between the two tires is about five inches. This seems not much, but five inches can make a big difference in how your vehicle handles.
A smaller circumference tire will have a shorter contact patch with the ground. This means that there will be less grip. A larger circumference tire will have a more extended contact patch with the ground.
This means that there will be more grip. In general, a larger circumference tire will offer better grip and handling.
Revolutions Per Mile
Revolutions Per Mile means how many times the tire will rotate in one mile. Higher numbers mean fewer rotations and vice versa. The 295/70R17 has revolutions per mile of 606.38, and the 265/70R17 has revolutions per mile of 638.1.
This means that the 295/70R17 will rotate about 31 times less in one mile than the 265/70R17. This difference is not significant and will not make a big difference in your vehicle’s performance.report this ad
Price
The 295/70R17 tire is more expensive than the 265/70R17 tire. This is expected, as the 295/70R17 tire is more comprehensive and has a shorter sidewall. If you are looking for the best performance, the 295/70R17 tire is the better choice. However, if you are looking for a more economical option, the 265/70R17 tire is the better choice.
Conclusion
Both tire sizes are good choices for SUVs and trucks.
The final decision depends on your budget and what you are looking for in a tire. If you are looking for the best performance, the 295/70R17 is the better choice.

In the table above you can see a detailed comparison of the difference in dimensions, parameters and characteristics between the tire with size 295/70 R17 and tire size 285/70 R17. The results of the calculations are also presented in the form of visual models (infographics), on which the tire with a size of 295/70 R17 is on top, and with a size of 285/70 R17, respectively, at the bottom. The visualization was generated in two projections: lateral (left) and frontal (right). The online calculator compares tires according to the following characteristics: diameter, width, circumference, profile height, revolutions per km, ground clearance change. Additionally, the potential deviation between the actual speed and the speed displayed on the speedometer is calculated, which can occur if the difference between the tires is 295/70 R17 and 285/70 R17 is significant.
