How to read your tire size
It's molded into the sidewall. Type yours to see what each number means.
Looks right.
- 225Width
- 225 mm across the tread, from sidewall to sidewall.
- 65Sidewall height
- 65% of the width, so the sidewall is about 146 mm tall. Lower means shorter and stiffer.
- R17Rim size
- Radial construction, 17-inch rim. This is the number that sets your install price.
Put together, a 225/65R17 tire is about 724 mm (28.5 in) tall: 17 inches of rim plus two 146 mm sidewalls.
Where else to find it
