All You Need To Know About LT225/65R17 Tire Size
The LT225/65R17 tire size has a section width of 225 mm, an aspect ratio of 65%, and fits a 17-inch wheel, producing a calculated overall diameter of approximately 28.5 inches and a calculated sidewall height of approximately 5.76 inches (146.25 mm).
The "LT" in LT225/65R17 identifies it as a light-truck tire size, built to a different construction and load standard than a P-metric or Euro-metric tire of the same nominal dimensions - a distinction covered in more detail in NeoTires' guide to LT vs. P-metric tire construction. The "R" in LT225/65R17 indicates radial construction. Because the sidewall height of LT225/65R17 is calculated directly from its 65% aspect ratio against a 225 mm width, its overall diameter comes out close to 28.5 inches once the 17-inch wheel is factored in.

LT225/65R17 Dimensions in Inches
The LT225/65R17 tire size is approximately 8.86 inches wide, 28.5 inches tall overall, with a sidewall approximately 5.76 inches high.
Of that 28.5-inch overall diameter, 17 inches come from the wheel itself, with the remaining height split between the two sidewalls of LT225/65R17 stacked above and below the rim. Because LT225/65R17's sidewall height is calculated directly from its 65% aspect ratio, a lower-aspect-ratio version of the same 225 mm width would reduce that sidewall height in inches, while a taller-profile version would increase it.
LT225/65R17 in Inches: All Measurements
- Width: 8.86 in
- Sidewall Height: 5.76 in
- Wheel Diameter: 17 in
- Overall Diameter: 2approximately 28.5 in
- Circumference: approximately 89.6 in
Comparison of LT225/65R17 With Alternative Tire Sizes
LT225/65R17 is commonly considered for replacement with LT235/65R17 and LT255/60R17, the two same-designation light-truck sizes documented as its closest calculated-diameter alternatives, both landing within about 1.8-1.9% of LT225/65R17's overall diameter.
LT235/65R17 keeps the same 65% aspect ratio at a wider 235 mm section width, while LT255/60R17 pairs a wider 255 mm section width with a lower 60% aspect ratio to arrive at a nearly identical overall diameter. Both alternatives share LT225/65R17's 17-inch wheel diameter, so the comparisons below come down to how width and aspect ratio combine to produce each size's overall diameter.
Difference Between LT225/65R17 and LT235/65R17 Tire Sizes
LT235/65R17 is a dimensional alternative to LT225/65R17, with a calculated overall diameter about 1.79% larger - a difference that falls within the ±3% guideline.
- Width Difference: LT235/65R17 is 10 mm wider than LT225/65R17 (235 mm vs. 225 mm).
- Diameter Difference: LT235/65R17 has a calculated overall diameter about 0.51 inches (13.0 mm), or approximately 1.79%, larger than LT225/65R17.
- Interchangeability: At approximately 1.79%, the diameter difference between LT225/65R17 and LT235/65R17 passes the ±3% diameter guideline, which makes LT235/65R17 dimensionally eligible for consideration alongside LT225/65R17 under that guideline — not automatically interchangeable. Wheel-width compatibility, load capacity, clearance, and vehicle-specific requirements should still be verified with a tire professional.
- Practical Difference: Compared with LT225/65R17, LT235/65R17 is wider in section width with a slightly larger overall diameter, at the same aspect ratio.
Difference Between LT225/65R17 and LT255/60R17 Tire Sizes
LT255/60R17 is a dimensional alternative to LT225/65R17, with a calculated overall diameter about 1.86% larger — a difference that falls within the ±3% guideline.
- Width Difference: LT255/60R17 is 30 mm wider than LT225/65R17 (255 mm vs. 225 mm).
- Diameter Difference: LT255/60R17 has a calculated overall diameter about 0.53 inches (13.5 mm), or approximately 1.86%, larger than LT225/65R17.
- Interchangeability: At approximately 1.86%, the diameter difference between LT225/65R17 and LT255/60R17 passes the ±3% diameter guideline, which makes LT255/60R17 dimensionally eligible for consideration alongside LT225/65R17 under that guideline - not automatically interchangeable. Wheel-width compatibility, load capacity, clearance, and vehicle-specific requirements should still be verified with a tire professional.
- Practical Difference: Compared with LT225/65R17, LT255/60R17 is wider in section width but has a proportionally shorter sidewall due to its lower aspect ratio, arriving at a similar overall diameter through a different width/height combination.
