What the Size Means

Tire size plays a major role in how your vehicle rides, handles, and carries weight. The designation refers to the tire's width, sidewall profile, and wheel diameter (17 inches).

Light Truck (LT) Tire Considerations

As a Light Truck (LT) tire, this Kenda LT285/70R17 E Klever R/T (KR601) 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.
