Special Purpose Vehicle 2WD: Typical Tire Size
The EPA Special Purpose Vehicle 2WD segment typically comes equipped with tires in the 265/70R17 size, which pairs with 17-inch wheels as the standard factory fitment. This size provides a balance of load capacity, ground clearance, and on-road handling suited to the segment's mixed-use purpose. Wheels within this class generally range from 16 to 18 inches in diameter, though 17 inches represents the most common specification across the segment.
Tire sizes vary within the class primarily due to trim level and available wheel packages. Higher trim levels or optional wheel packages may use different tire and wheel combinations to achieve distinct styling or performance characteristics. Load rating and sidewall height also adjust based on configuration. Since fitment can differ significantly between individual models and years, owners should always verify their vehicle's correct tire size by consulting the door-jamb placard, which lists the manufacturer's approved sizes for their specific vehicle rather than relying on segment-wide specifications.
