Tire Size Calculator

Stay within 3% of the original tire diameter. Larger differences can affect speedometer accuracy, ABS/traction control calibration, and may cause rubbing on wheel wells. A 3% change equals about 1 mph speedometer error at 30 mph.

Example: 225/65R17. 225 = width in mm. 65 = aspect ratio (sidewall height as % of width). R = radial construction. 17 = rim diameter in inches. The overall diameter depends on all three numbers.

Yes. Larger diameter tires cause your speedometer to read slower than actual speed. For example, going from 225/65R17 to 235/70R17 increases diameter by about 3.5%, meaning at an indicated 60 mph you are actually going about 62 mph.
