About 275/65R16
275/65R16 is less common as a factory fitment but is available as an aftermarket size, so SKU selection is narrower than mainstream OEM sizes. At 30.07″ overall diameter, 275/65R16 turns 671 revolutions per mile, which is the reference point the factory speedometer and odometer were calibrated against. The 65% aspect ratio gives it a balanced sidewall — enough compliance for daily comfort without vague steering. The 16″ rim pairing is typical for light-truck, crossover, and mid-size SUV applications, so compatible wheels are easy to source new or used. Going one step shorter to 255/70R16 drops diameter by 0.07%, which stays within the ±3% fitment safe zone for most vehicles. Stepping up to 265/70R16 adds 1.77% diameter — also inside the safe window, with marginally taller ride height. If you are shopping for a direct replacement, any tire within roughly ±0.7″ of the 30.07″ stock diameter (about ±2% in percentage terms) will keep ABS, TPMS, and odometer readings inside the vehicle's designed tolerance.
