All You Need To Know About P215/55R17 Tire Size
The P215/55R17 tire size carries a section width of 215 millimeters, an aspect ratio of 55%, and mounts on a 17-inch wheel diameter, producing a calculated overall diameter of approximately 26.31 inches (668.3 mm) and a calculated sidewall height of approximately 4.66 inches (118.25 mm).
The "P" prefix identifies P215/55R17 as a P-metric passenger-car tire sized under the U.S. load-index and inflation-table system, while the "R" in P215/55R17 denotes radial internal construction, with the body plies running perpendicular to the direction of travel. The aspect ratio of P215/55R17 means its sidewall height equals 55% of its 215 mm section width. Because the sidewall height and overall diameter of P215/55R17 are both derived directly from its section width, aspect ratio, and wheel diameter, these calculated figures remain the same across brands that manufacture tires to this nominal size.

P215/55R17 Dimensions in Inches
The P215/55R17 tire size is approximately 8.46 inches wide, 26.31 inches tall overall, with a sidewall approximately 4.66 inches high. Because the overall diameter of P215/55R17 is fixed by its section width, aspect ratio, and 17-inch wheel diameter, that inch measurement stays consistent regardless of manufacturer. A taller sidewall on P215/55R17, at 4.66 inches, generally provides more cushioning between the wheel and road surface than a lower-profile tire of the same width would, following the basic dimensional relationship between aspect ratio and sidewall height. Keeping a replacement tire's overall diameter close to the 26.31-inch figure of P215/55R17 helps preserve the wheel's rolling circumference.
P215/55R17 in Inches: All Measurements
- Width: 8.46 inches
- Sidewall Height: 4.66 inches
- Wheel Diameter: 17 inches
- Overall Diameter: approximately 26.3 inches
- Circumference: approximately 82.6 inches
Comparison of P215/55R17 With Alternative Tire Sizes
205/55R17 and 225/55R17 are both established as direct dimensional comparisons to P215/55R17, since they sit immediately below and above it on the same 55-series, 17-inch platform used for cross-shopping and sizing guidance. P215/55R17 has a calculated overall diameter of 26.31 inches, sitting between the 25.88-inch diameter of 205/55R17 and the 26.74-inch diameter of 225/55R17, with each neighboring size differing by roughly 10 mm of section width in either direction.
Difference Between P215/55R17 and 205/55R17 Tire Sizes
205/55R17 is a dimensional alternative to P215/55R17, with an overall diameter approximately 1.65% smaller than P215/55R17, a difference that falls within the ±3% guideline.
- Width Difference: 205/55R17 is 10 mm narrower than P215/55R17 (205 mm vs. 215 mm section width).
- Diameter Difference: P215/55R17 is approximately 0.43 inches taller in overall diameter than 205/55R17 (26.31 in vs. 25.88 in).
- Interchangeability: The overall-diameter difference between P215/55R17 and 205/55R17 is approximately 1.65%, which passes the ±3% diameter guideline. This makes 205/55R17 dimensionally eligible for consideration alongside P215/55R17 under that guideline, but not automatically interchangeable - wheel-width compatibility, load capacity, clearance, and vehicle-specific requirements still need to be verified with a tire professional.
- Practical Difference: Compared with P215/55R17, 205/55R17 has a narrower section width and a smaller overall diameter, which corresponds to a narrower physical footprint and slightly less clearance-consuming tire profile.
Difference Between P215/55R17 and 225/55R17 Tire Sizes
225/55R17 is a dimensional alternative to P215/55R17, with an overall diameter approximately 1.65% larger than P215/55R17, a difference that falls within the ±3% guideline.
- Width Difference: 225/55R17 is 10 mm wider than P215/55R17 (225 mm vs. 215 mm section width).
- Diameter Difference: 225/55R17 is approximately 0.43 inches taller in overall diameter than P215/55R17 (26.74 in vs. 26.31 in).
- Interchangeability: The overall-diameter difference between P215/55R17 and 225/55R17 is approximately 1.65%, which passes the ±3% diameter guideline.
