Choosing a 265/70R16 tyre
For regular road driving, highway terrain or touring tyres can suit drivers who want predictable handling and lower road noise. All terrain tyres are a practical choice for gravel roads, regional travel, camping and mixed sealed and unsealed use. Tyroola lists 89 all terrain products, 14 mud terrain products and 11 highway terrain products in this size. Choose mud terrain only when frequent deep mud or rough tracks justify the extra off-road focus.
Cheap 265/70R16 tyres start at $96 per tyre in the listed range. Compare the tread type, brand, ratings and stock status rather than price alone. Tyres can be delivered Australia-wide or sent to a nationwide Tyroola fitting partner for fitting and balancing.
