265/70R17 Winter Tires for Ford F-150 & Chevrolet Silverado: Fit, Options & Ordering Guide

265/70R17 winter tires suit certain Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado trims that run 17-inch wheels. Confirm the size on your door jamb placard, choose a tire listed for winter, and compare speed rating, tread depth, and price. Shipping is free across Canada on orders of 4 or more tires, and eligible tires can be returned within 30 days of delivery.

Picking winter tires for a full-size truck is a big decision, so it helps to compare brands before you buy. Our full Cooper tire lineup covers all-season, winter, all-terrain, and performance tires, and it is a good place to start when you are shopping for a truck.

This guide is written for Canadian drivers. It explains how to confirm your size, what to read on a tire listing, how winter, all-weather, and all-terrain tires differ, and how ordering and returns work.

Do 265/70R17 Winter Tires Fit the Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado?

They can, but only on trucks that came with 17-inch wheels. Both the F-150 and the Silverado are sold with more than one wheel size, so you should never guess from the model name alone. Check the tire placard on the driver's door jamb. It lists the size your truck was built with.

You can also read the numbers printed on the sidewall of your current tires. If they read 265/70R17, you are shopping for the right size. If they show something different, search for that size instead.

Here is how to read it. The 265 is the width in millimetres. The 70 is the sidewall height as a percentage of the width. The R stands for radial construction, and the 17 is the wheel diameter in inches.

At GCI Tires Canada, we sell winter, all-season, all-weather, and all-terrain tires online, with free shipping across the country on orders of 4 or more tires. If you want a second opinion on your size, our free AI tire finder matches tires to your vehicle details, with no signup needed.

What Should You Check on a Truck Winter Tire Listing?

A clear listing makes it easier to compare tires side by side. Here is what to look for.

• Size: It should read 265/70R17 if that matches your placard.
• Season: Confirm the tire is listed for winter.
• Speed rating: This letter shows the tire's rated top speed.
• Tread depth: Some listings show how deep the tread is on a new tire.
• Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol: The 3PMSF mark shows winter certification.
• Price and stock: Check the product page for current details.

Our home page states that our winter tires carry the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certification. Even so, confirm the symbol on the listing or sidewall of the exact tire you choose, because not every listing spells it out.

Here is one example. One 265/70R17 option from Cooper is the Discoverer Stronghold All-Weather. Its product page lists the season as winter, with a speed rating of R and a tread depth of 16.5/32nds. The page does not list a load index, so compare the tire against your placard before you order.

Winter, All-Weather, or All-Terrain: Which Fits Your Truck?

The best choice depends on where you drive. Our store sorts tires into separate collections, and each is described a little differently.

A Quick Comparison

This table summarizes how our site describes each type.

Tire Type	How Our Site Describes It	Worth Checking
Winter	Chosen for Canadian winters, with traction in ice, slush, and heavy snowfall; our winter tires carry the 3PMSF certification.	The listing and sidewall for the 3PMSF symbol.
All-weather	Listed in its own collection.	Each listing for season and size.
All-terrain	Listed in its own collection.	Each listing for season and size.
All-season	Reliable grip in rain, light snow, and dry roads year-round.	Whether this suits your winter driving.

No table can replace your own needs. If your truck faces snow and ice often, a winter-rated tire with the 3PMSF symbol is the focused choice. If you live in Quebec, winter tires are required from December 1 to March 15, as our winter collection page explains. Check the rules for your own province before you decide.

About the Cooper Brand

Our Cooper collection page describes the brand as American-made, with more than 110 years of tire heritage that dates back to 1914. It also notes that Cooper tires are engineered for all-weather performance and are built for North American road conditions. If you prefer a brand with that background, the Cooper range is easy to browse by size.

How Do Ordering and Delivery Work?

Our shipping policy lays out the details. Shipping is free on orders of 4 or more tires anywhere in Canada; orders of 1 to 3 tires ship for a flat $35. Orders are processed within one to two business days, and we ship with FedEx, Purolator, or Canada Post, depending on your location.

Estimated delivery times after shipment vary by region:

• Quebec (major cities): 2 to 4 business days
• Ontario: 3 to 5 business days

A tracking number is sent by email within 24 hours of shipment. If your tires arrive with visible packaging damage, take photos of the packaging and the product before opening, and contact us within 48 hours.

You can also ship straight to your installer. Enter the installer's business address at checkout, and confirm the address and hours with them first.

What If Your Tires Need to Go Back?

Our return and refund policy sets clear conditions. We accept returns when the tires are unused and unmounted, show no signs of road contact or installation, and still have their original packaging. The return request must be submitted within 30 days of the delivery date.

Here is how the process works:

• Email info@gcitirescanada.com with your order number and the reason for the return.
• We issue a Return Merchandise Authorization number and shipping instructions.
• Return shipping is the customer's responsibility, unless the product is defective or we made an error.
• Once the tires are received and inspected, refunds are processed within 5 to 7 business days to your original payment method.

Mounted or installed tires are not returnable, and neither are tires bought under a clearance or final sale designation. If you receive a defective or incorrect product, contact us right away so we can arrange pickup and a replacement or refund. To exchange for a different size or model, submit a return and place a new order.

Practical Tips Before You Order

A short routine helps you avoid mistakes:

• Check the placard on your driver's door jamb.
• Read the sidewall of your current tires to confirm 265/70R17.
• Look for a winter listing and the 3PMSF symbol.
• Compare speed rating, tread depth, and price across two or three options.
• Check delivery times for your region.
• Hold off on mounting until you are sure the size is right, since mounted tires cannot be returned.

Ordering before the first snowfall gives you time for delivery and for booking an installation appointment.

Confirm 265/70R17 on your placard, compare a few options, and plan your delivery before winter arrives.
