245/75R16 Tyres

This size is a popular fitment for mid-size and large SUVs and utes that need to handle highway driving with occasional off-road capability, including the Toyota Prado 150, Ford Everest, Isuzu MU-X, Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, Nissan Pathfinder, Holden Colorado (common upgrade), and various Ford Ranger configurations. It balances load capacity with ride comfort better than the largest off-road sizes.

Brand choice covers all use cases. For drivers who do most kilometres on sealed roads, Michelin Latitude Tour HP, Bridgestone Dueler H/L 400, and Continental CrossContact LX Sport offer the quietest, most comfortable ride with strong wet-weather grip. All-terrain options for dual highway/dirt use include the Hankook Dynapro AT2, Falken WildPeak A/T3W, and Toyo Open Country A/T III — these give up a little road manners compared to H/L tyres but handle gravel tracks and corrugated dirt roads confidently. If mud is a regular part of your driving, the Cooper Discoverer AT3 and BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 are the go-to options at this size.

When comparing tyres in this category, check the load index first — this is non-negotiable for SUVs that tow or carry heavy loads. A load index of 111 or higher is standard for most full-size SUVs. Tread pattern noise is worth researching because aggressive A/T patterns can generate significant cabin noise on highway runs at 100+ km/h. Rolling resistance also affects fuel economy more noticeably on heavier vehicles, so H/L tyres are worth considering if 90% of your driving is urban and highway. eBay is particularly strong for this size, with genuine savings on quality mid-range brands that aren't heavily discounted at traditional tyre shops.
