Zextour AEROTRAC A/T All-Terrain Tire 265/65R17 115T

📐 Technical Specifications

The standard service description for this tire size is typically 112T or 112H (depending on the exact sub-model, though 112T is most common for A/T tires):

Size: 265/65R17

265: The nominal section width of the tire in millimeters.  

65: The aspect ratio, meaning the sidewall height is 65% of the width (265mm). This provides a good balance between highway responsiveness and off-road bump absorption.  

17: The diameter of the rim in inches.

Load Index (112): This indicates a maximum load capacity of 1,120\text{ kg} (\approx 2,469\text{ lbs}) per tire when properly inflated. This is a robust rating suitable for mid-sized and large 4x4 vehicles.  

Speed Rating (T or H):

T-rated (Common for A/T): Maximum safe speed of 190\text{ km/h} (\approx 118\text{ mph}).  

H-rated (Less Common): Maximum safe speed of 210\text{ km/h} (\approx 130\text{ mph}).  

Vehicle Fitment: This size is standard or optional on vehicles like the Toyota LandCruiser Prado, Toyota HiLux, Ford Ranger, and Mitsubishi Pajero.  

🌟 Performance Characteristics

The 265/65R17 size, combined with the AEROTRAC A/T pattern, is engineered for versatility and comfort:

Balanced On/Off-Road Use: The 65-series profile provides a substantial sidewall, improving comfort on paved roads and offering better cushioning and puncture resistance when traveling on unpaved gravel or dirt tracks compared to lower-profile tires.

All-Season Grip: The blocky, interlocking tread pattern and wide grooves are designed to deliver reliable traction in wet conditions and light snow, as well as on dry roads.  

Durability: As an All-Terrain tire with a high load index (112), it is built with reinforced construction suitable for the heavier weight and variable conditions encountered by SUVs and Light Trucks.

This tire size is ideal for drivers who use their vehicle daily on the highway but need the confidence and capability for weekend off-road adventures or driving on rough worksites.
