The Armstrong TRU-TRAC HT II 265/65 R17 is a highway-terrain tyre developed for SUVs, pickups and 4x4 vehicles approved for this tyre size. Its symmetric tread pattern is designed to provide stable road handling, controlled wet-road drainage, reduced tread noise and dependable performance during regular city and highway driving.
Wide circumferential grooves run around the tread to provide clear pathways for water to move away from the contact area. Connected lateral grooves direct water towards the outer edges, helping the tyre maintain more consistent road contact during wet conditions.
Wavy sipes across the tread create multiple gripping edges for wet-road traction, braking and directional control. Their shape also helps the tread blocks remain stable under the higher loads commonly associated with SUVs, pickups and 4x4 vehicles.
Highway Comfort with a Taller Sidewall
The 265 mm tread width provides a broad road-contact area for braking, straight-line tracking and highway stability. Its 65-profile sidewall offers useful cushioning over potholes, broken roads, expansion joints and uneven surfaces.
Compared with the 265/60 R18 version, the 265/65 R17 has a taller sidewall while maintaining an almost identical overall tyre diameter. This gives it greater sidewall cushioning without creating a meaningful difference in calculated rolling diameter.
The tyre's heavy-duty casing reinforces its internal structure and supports stable handling under vehicle weight and highway driving loads. The symmetric tread arrangement also distributes tread functions evenly across the tyre, supporting predictable steering and rotation flexibility where the vehicle configuration permits.
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 clearance requirements are fully satisfied.
TRU-TRAC HT II Technology
Armstrong TRU-TRAC HT II Tread Technology
Highway-terrain tread design. The TRU-TRAC HT II is developed for SUVs, pickups and 4x4 vehicles primarily driven on paved roads. Its tread prioritises highway stability, road comfort, wet-surface control and predictable everyday handling.
Unique symmetric tread pattern. The tread uses a balanced layout across its full width to support stable road contact, predictable steering and controlled wear. The symmetric arrangement also allows flexible tyre rotation where the vehicle configuration permits.
Heavy-duty casing. The reinforced casing supports the tyre under vehicle weight, highway speeds and substantial driving loads. It contributes to tread stability, steering control and dependable road handling.
Wide circumferential grooves. Longitudinal grooves provide continuous pathways for water to move away from the tyre's contact area, helping reduce water accumulation beneath the tread.
Connected lateral grooves. Lateral channels move water from the central tread area towards the tyre's outer edges, supporting drainage and road contact during wet conditions.
Wavy tread sipes. Wave-shaped sipes create multiple gripping edges that support wet-road traction, braking and steering control.
Stable tread blocks under load. The tread and siping arrangement helps the blocks maintain their shape during braking, cornering and driving under the loads associated with larger vehicles.
Controlled rolling resistance. The wavy-sipe structure is designed to support stable block movement and reduce unnecessary tread deformation as the tyre rolls.
Noise-conscious tread layout. The symmetric tread arrangement is designed to control the sound generated as the tread meets the road, supporting a quieter and more comfortable highway-driving experience.
Stable road-contact footprint. The broad tread and reinforced construction support predictable contact during acceleration, braking, cornering and straight-line travel.
Road-focused radial construction. The radial structure is suited to SUVs, pickups and 4x4 vehicles used primarily for city, intercity and highway driving.
Tread-wear indicators. Moulded tread-wear bars provide a visible reference as the tread approaches its replacement limit. Tyres should also be inspected for cracking, cuts, 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.
