Which Cars Use 225/60 R17?

A comfortable 17-inch SUV size: Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson on 17-inch wheels, Subaru Forester, Nissan X-Trail, Toyota RAV4 on some fitments, Lexus NX and Honda CR-V on certain model years, Mitsubishi ASX and the Suzuki Across.

Treat this list as a guide, not a guarantee: manufacturers fit different sizes to different trims and wheel options, so check the label inside the driver's door or read the sidewall.

What 225/60 R17 Means

Read the size off the sidewall from left to right. 225 is the tread width in millimetres. 60 is the profile, the sidewall height as a percentage of that width, so on this tyre the sidewall is about 135 mm tall. R17 means radial construction on a 17-inch wheel. The overall diameter works out at roughly 702 mm, which is the figure your speedometer and gearing are calibrated for and the reason you cannot swap freely to a "close" size.

Load and Speed Ratings on 225/60 R17

Typical markings after the size are 99H, 99V and 103V XL. Treat the load index as the tyre's payload rating and the speed letter as its ceiling: the car maker sets a minimum for each and you may exceed either but not undercut it. On heavier trims the label will call for the XL figure, and that is the tyre to fit even if the lighter version is cheaper.

Good to know

Are all-season 225/60 R17 tyres a good idea on a Sportage? For a Norfolk crossover that does school runs, coast trips and the odd icy lane all year, yes. Look for the three-peak mountain snowflake marking; several premium and mid-range brands make it in this size.

What to Watch For on This Size

A 60 profile on a 17-inch wheel gives an SUV a supple ride and decent pothole tolerance, which is why manufacturers fit it to the sensible trims. Load index is 99 on most, 103 XL on heavier plug-in hybrids; the speed rating is H or V. Four-wheel-drive Foresters and X-Trails need matched tread across all four. This is a strong size for all-season tyres.

Brands Available in 225/60 R17

Good SUV coverage: Michelin Primacy and CrossClimate SUV, Continental PremiumContact and AllSeasonContact, Goodyear EfficientGrip SUV and Vector 4Seasons, Bridgestone Turanza and Dueler, Pirelli Scorpion, Hankook Dynapro and Ventus, Kumho Crugen, Falken Ziex, Yokohama Geolandar, Nexen Roadian and the budget tier.

Ask for a brand by name or ask us to choose; either way you see the EU label before you commit. The brand directory explains each name, and checked part worns are a fourth option in a common size like this one.
