All You Need To Know About P225/60R17 Tire Size
The P225/60R17 tire size has a section width of 225 mm, an aspect ratio of 60%, and fits a 17-inch wheel, producing a calculated overall diameter of approximately 27.6 inches and a calculated sidewall height of approximately 5.31 inches (135 mm).
The "P" in P225/60R17 identifies it as a P-metric passenger-vehicle size, which uses a different load-index calculation than a Euro-metric size of the same nominal dimensions - a distinction covered in more detail in NeoTires' guide to P-metric vs. non-P tire sizing.
The "R" in P225/60R17 indicates radial construction, the standard casing type for this designation. Because the sidewall height of P225/60R17 is calculated directly from its 60% aspect ratio against a 225 mm width, its overall diameter stays close to 27.6 inches once the 17-inch wheel is added in.

P225/60R17 Dimensions in Inches
The P225/60R17 tire size is approximately 8.86 inches wide, 27.6 inches tall overall, with a sidewall approximately 5.31 inches high. Of that 27.63-inch overall diameter, 17 inches come from the wheel itself, with the remaining height split between the two sidewalls of P225/60R17 stacked on top and bottom. Because P225/60R17's sidewall height is calculated directly from its 60% aspect ratio, a taller-aspect-ratio version of the same 225 mm width would add proportionally more sidewall height in inches, while a lower-profile version would reduce it.
P225/60R17 in Inches: All Measurements
- Width: 8.86 in (225 mm)
- Sidewall Height: 5.31 in (135 mm)
- Wheel Diameter: 17 in
- Overall Diameter: approximately 27.6 in
- Circumference: approximately 86.8 in
Comparison of P225/60R17 With Alternative Tire Sizes
P225/60R17 is most naturally compared with 215/65R17 and 225/55R17, the two alternative 17-inch sizes, one taller and narrower, one identical in width but lower profile. Against 215/65R17, P225/60R17 has a slightly smaller calculated overall diameter, while against 225/55R17, P225/60R17 is the taller of the two sizes. Both alternatives share P225/60R17's 17-inch wheel diameter, so the comparisons below come down to how width and aspect ratio change the resulting dimensions.
Difference Between P225/60R17 and 215/65R17 Tire Sizes
215/65R17 is a dimensional alternative to P225/60R17, with a calculated overall diameter about 1.35% larger - a difference that falls within the ±3% guideline.
- Width Difference: P225/60R17 is 10 mm wider than 215/65R17 (225 mm vs. 215 mm).
- Diameter Difference: 215/65R17 has a calculated overall diameter about 0.37 inches (9.5 mm), or approximately 1.35%, larger than P225/60R17.
- Interchangeability: At approximately 1.35%, the diameter difference between P225/60R17 and 215/65R17 passes the ±3% diameter guideline, which makes 215/65R17 dimensionally eligible for consideration alongside P225/60R17 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 P225/60R17, 215/65R17 is narrower in section width and has a slightly larger overall diameter, trading some tread width for additional sidewall height.
Difference Between P225/60R17 and 225/55R17 Tire Sizes
225/55R17 is a dimensional alternative to P225/60R17, with a calculated overall diameter about 3.21% smaller - a difference that exceeds the ±3% guideline.
- Width Difference: P225/60R17 and 225/55R17 share the same 225 mm section width.
- Diameter Difference: P225/60R17 has a calculated overall diameter about 0.89 inches (22.5 mm), or approximately 3.21%, larger than 225/55R17.
- Interchangeability: At approximately 3.21%, the diameter difference between P225/60R17 and 225/55R17 exceeds the ±3% diameter guideline, so 225/55R17 is not considered a direct replacement for P225/60R17 under that guideline.
- Practical Difference: Compared with P225/60R17, 225/55R17 keeps the same section width but has a shorter sidewall and smaller overall diameter, resulting in a lower ride height at the tire.
