The Armstrong TRU-TRAC AT II 265/65 R17 is a second-generation all-terrain tyre developed for SUVs, pickups and 4x4 vehicles approved for this tyre size. Its distinctive block-pattern tread is designed to provide dependable traction across paved roads, rough tracks, loose surfaces and moderately muddy terrain while retaining a controlled ride for everyday road use.
Rigid shoulder blocks strengthen the outer tread area and provide additional gripping edges where the tyre meets uneven terrain. This supports traction and stability when driving over loose ground, damaged roads and changing surfaces.
Engineered grooves of different widths separate the tread blocks and help control the sound generated as the tyre rolls. This allows the aggressive all-terrain tread to provide off-road capability without creating unnecessary noise during regular road driving.
All-Terrain Grip with Additional Sidewall Cushioning
The 265 mm tread width creates a broad contact area for traction, braking and straight-line stability. The 65-profile sidewall provides useful cushioning and flexibility when travelling over potholes, broken roads, gravel tracks and uneven terrain.
Compared with the 265/60 R18 version, the 265/65 R17 uses a taller sidewall. This generally provides greater impact absorption and additional protection for the wheel during rough-road and light off-road use, although steering response may feel slightly less immediate.
A reinforced sidewall provides additional defence in an area commonly exposed to impacts, abrasion and side-loading during off-road driving. The special tread compound is also designed to resist tearing and friction-related wear across changing road and terrain conditions.
The 265/65 R17 size should only be fitted to vehicles approved for this specification and where the tyre's load index, speed rating, rim width, overall diameter and suspension-clearance requirements are fully satisfied.
TRU-TRAC AT II Technology
Armstrong TRU-TRAC AT II Tread Technology
Second-generation all-terrain design. The TRU-TRAC AT II uses a distinctive block-pattern tread developed to provide traction across paved roads, damaged surfaces, loose ground and moderate off-road terrain.
Dynamic tread structure. The tread blocks are arranged to maintain useful gripping edges across changing surfaces while supporting predictable road behaviour during everyday driving.
Rigid shoulder blocks. Stable shoulder blocks reinforce the outer tread area, helping the tyre withstand impacts while supporting traction, steering response and cornering stability.
Engineered variable-width grooves. Grooves of different widths separate the tread blocks and help disrupt repetitive tread-contact frequencies. This reduces unnecessary pattern noise and supports a more comfortable road-driving experience.
Reinforced sidewall. The sidewall is reinforced to provide additional defence against impacts, abrasion and lateral forces in an area that can be vulnerable during rough-road and off-road driving.
Special tear-resistant compound. The rubber compound is developed to improve resistance to tearing and friction-related wear across paved roads, rough tracks and changing terrain conditions.
Mixed-surface traction. The block pattern and shoulder edges provide multiple gripping points for travel over loose gravel, damaged roads, dirt tracks and moderately muddy surfaces.
Road and off-road balance. The pattern is designed to deliver useful all-terrain capability while retaining a controlled and relatively comfortable character during regular city and highway driving.
Broad road-contact area. The tread structure supports stable contact during acceleration, braking, cornering and straight-line travel. Actual performance will also depend on tyre pressure, vehicle load, alignment and surface conditions.
Tread-wear indicators. Moulded tread-wear bars provide a visible reference as the tread approaches its replacement limit. The tyre should also be inspected regularly for cuts, cracking, bulges, punctures and irregular wear.

Understanding Tyre Size 265/65 R17 / How to Read Tyre Size
Vehicles with 265/65 R17 Tyre Size
What does 265/65 R17 mean?
265/65 R17 is the tyre size.
265 is the maximum width of the tyre in milimetres(mm). When the vehicle is fully loaded its width can expand maximum upto 265 milimetres(mm).
65 is the ratio among width and height of the tyre from its rim. it means that the height of the tyre is precisely 65% of the 265mm. Lower ratio improves road grip, but it reduces comfort to some extent.
R – refers to the method the tyre is produced. The letter “R” is found on all modern car tyres. It indicates the radial structure of tyre cosntructed with steel wires.
17 represents the diameter of the rim. It is a measurement in inches(“). This number should be rememberd as it is the measurement of the rims. It has to match exactly to what is mentioned in the car manual.
