How to choose the right size
- Read the size on your door-jamb placard or in the owner’s manual, for example 225/65R17. The last number is the wheel diameter in inches.
- Meet or exceed the load index and speed rating listed for your vehicle. Heavier crossovers and SUVs often need a higher load index.
- Stay with the original overall diameter. Changing width or aspect ratio can affect fit and speedometer accuracy.
- Ideally replace all four tires together; if you replace two, put the new pair on the rear axle and follow your manual.

Care tips for your tires
- Check pressure monthly against the placard, not the number on the sidewall.
- Rotate on the interval in your owner’s manual.
- Replace tires at 2/32 inch of tread depth, or sooner if wet grip feels poor.
- All-season tires handle light snow; a tire with the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol is better for regular winter driving.
FAQ
What does the 17 in a 17-inch tire size mean?
It is the wheel diameter in inches. In a size such as 225/65R17, 225 is the tread width in millimeters, 65 is the sidewall height as a percentage of that width, R means radial and 17 is the wheel diameter.
Where do I find my tire size?
Look at the placard on the driver door jamb, in the owner’s manual or on the sidewall of your current tires. Use the size and load index listed there as your minimum.
Are all-season tires fine for winter?
They cope with light snow and cold rain, but they are not designed for deep snow or ice. For regular winter driving look for the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol.
What does the load index mean?
It is a code for the maximum weight one tire can carry. For example, a load index of 102 means 1,874 lb per tire. Choose a tire at or above your vehicle’s requirement.
How often should I rotate 17-inch tires?
Follow your owner’s manual. Many manufacturers suggest roughly every 5,000 to 8,000 miles, and rotating on schedule helps the tread wear evenly.
Match the size first, then choose on tread, ride and warranty. Have a tire shop mount, balance and check alignment.
