What size is 225 60R17 in inches?
R17 tires have a diameter of 27. The sidewall of the tire is 5. R16 tires have a diameter of 26.So, a 225 tire is 225 mm wide, while a 235 tire is 235 mm wide. That 10mm difference may seem small, but it significantly impacts grip, ride comfort, fuel efficiency, and overall performance. The wider the tire, the more contact it makes with the road, which means better traction but also more rolling resistance.In this case, the tire is 225 millimeters wide. This number represents the aspect ratio of the tire, which is the height of the tire’s sidewall as a percentage of its width. In this case, the sidewall height is 60% of the tire’s width.
What does 225 60R17 mean?
The 225/60R17 99H tyre has the following features: the first three digits refer to the width of the tyre in millimetres. The second two-digit number refers to the ratio between the height of the sidewall and the width of the tyre. R stands for “Radial” and the last two figures 17 indicate the wheel diameter in inches. R stands for radial construction which refers to how the tires are made.This percentage compares the tire’s section height with the tire’s section width. For example, this aspect ratio of 60 means that the tire’s section height is 60% of the tire’s section width. R indicates the construction used within the tires casing.
