How the blog is madePrices are those listed by Shaharyar Traders (3 branches, Lahore), the one dealer on CircleWheels; a listed price does not confirm stock. The catalogue holds sizes and prices only, with no load or speed ratings, tread data, test results or reviews. Confirm your size on your current tyres or the door-jamb placard before buying.

The prices below are Shaharyar Traders' listings on CircleWheels, last updated on 3 June 2026. Both size pages, 265/70R17 and 275/70R17, carry the full lists.
What 275/70R17 adds: 10 mm of width, 7 mm of sidewall
Both sizes share the 70 profile and the 17-inch rim, so the extra section width also makes the sidewall taller. Here is the arithmetic from the two sizes:
| 265/70R17 | 275/70R17 | Change | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Section width | 265 mm | 275 mm | +10 mm |
| Sidewall height | 186 mm | 193 mm | +7 mm |
| Overall diameter | 803 mm (31.6 in) | 817 mm (32.2 in) | +14 mm (+1.7%) |
| Circumference | 2,522 mm | 2,566 mm | +44 mm |
| Revolutions per km | about 396 | about 390 | about 6 fewer |
The sidewall grows on both the top and bottom of the wheel, which is why 7 mm of sidewall becomes 14 mm of overall diameter.
The speedometer: about 1.7% apart
With 275/70R17 fitted where a car was calibrated for 265/70R17, the speedometer would read about 1.7% below the true speed, because each turn of the larger tyre covers more road: about 390 revolutions per kilometre instead of about 396. Go the other way, fitting 265/70R17 where a car was calibrated for 275/70R17, and the reading moves the other way, above the true speed.
One car's page on CircleWheels lists both sizes: the Toyota FJ Cruiser (2007–2024). The placard on the FJ Cruiser in question decides which of the two it takes.
That makes this comparison useless to anyone hoping to switch sizes to save money. With 18 of the 27 shared models at the same price in both sizes, the choice between them is a fitment question, and the speedometer shift comes with any switch.
Same price in both sizes: Kumho, Dunlop, Yokohama, Bridgestone
Among the shared models, these cost the same in both sizes:
| Model | 265/70R17 | 275/70R17 |
|---|---|---|
| Kumho Road Venture AT52 | Rs 50,000 | Rs 50,000 |
| Kumho Road Venture AT51 | Rs 50,000 | Rs 50,000 |
| Dunlop Grandtrek AT20 | Rs 57,500 | Rs 57,500 |
| Yokohama Geolandar H/T G056 | Rs 57,500 | Rs 57,500 |
| Dunlop Grandtrek AT25 | Rs 58,000 | Rs 58,000 |
| Bridgestone Dueler AT RHS | Rs 59,000 | Rs 59,000 |
| Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo3 | Rs 59,000 | Rs 59,000 |
| Bridgestone Dueler H/T 684 II | Rs 59,000 | Rs 59,000 |
| Bridgestone Dueler A/T D693 III | Rs 60,000 | Rs 60,000 |
At the top of the comparable listings, Michelin Primacy SUV sits at Rs 80,000 in both 265/70R17 and 275/70R17, the highest price for a comparable tyre with a model name in each size.
Where 275/70R17 costs more: Goodyear, Yokohama, Toyo
Three of the eight models that cost more in 275/70R17 are among the examples:
| Model | 265/70R17 | 275/70R17 | Extra a tyre | Extra for four |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac | Rs 57,500 | Rs 59,000 | Rs 1,500 | Rs 6,000 |
| Yokohama Geolandar X-AT G016 | Rs 61,500 | Rs 64,000 | Rs 2,500 | Rs 10,000 |
| Toyo Open Country AT III | Rs 61,500 | Rs 65,000 | Rs 3,500 | Rs 14,000 |
A Toyo Open Country AT III set of four costs Rs 14,000 more in 275/70R17 than in 265/70R17, so a buyer whose placard shows 275/70R17 should budget for that on this model.
The cheapest entry point in each size
The cheapest comparable tyre with a model name in 265/70R17 is the Nexen Roadian HTX2 at Rs 48,000. In 275/70R17 the floor is Rs 50,000, shared by two Kumho tyres, the Kumho Road Venture AT51 and Road Venture AT52. Between the Nexen at Rs 48,000 and the Kumhos at Rs 50,000 the gap is Rs 2,000 a tyre, Rs 8,000 for four; that gap belongs to those tyres, not to the sizes in general. The Nexen Roadian HTX2 in 275/70R17 is left out of the comparison because its page lists more than one model or price, from Rs 48,000 to Rs 50,000.
Below those sit the brand-only listings, 54 in each size, with 51 of them at exactly Rs 36,000. In each size, 52 of the 54 brand-only listings carry two prices: Rs 36,000 and Rs 36,500 in 265/70R17, and Rs 36,000 and Rs 37,500 in 275/70R17 (or similar pairs), and the dealer can say which applies. From Rs 36,000 up to the Nexen Roadian HTX2 at Rs 48,000 is Rs 48,000 for a set of four in 265/70R17, or Rs 46,000 from Rs 36,500. In 275/70R17, from Rs 36,000 up to the Kumhos at Rs 50,000 is Rs 56,000 for four, or Rs 50,000 from Rs 37,500.
Some brands' cheapest entries shift between sizes because a different model leads. Bridgestone starts at Rs 59,000 in 265/70R17 but at Rs 57,500 in 275/70R17 with the Bridgestone Dueler HT, and Dunlop starts at Rs 57,500 in 265/70R17 against Rs 56,500 for the Dunlop Rover RVXT in 275/70R17.
