How to Understand Your Current Tire Size

Knowing your Jeep's tire size can be essential information when it comes time to replace that rubber, or even if you ever decide to change wheels. And while a stock tire size is imprinted right inside the driver side B pillar, you may not know what if have if you are not the original owner.

So here is some helpful information to assist you in determining what you currently have on the vehicle.

First, the sidewall of your tire contains all the information needed to understand everything about that specific tire. All tires are required to have this information, regardless of the manufacturer brand name.

Now, this information could read in a few different ways. For example, it could simply say 35x12.5 R17, or it may show as P265 75 R15. If it is the first listing, then here is the breakdown. That first number is your tire size at 35", and then the second number tells you the tire width at 12. 5". That third reading is the tire type as radial and diameter as 17".

The second listing is a metric set up, and is what is more common on factory-type sized tires. From left to right, the P indicates a passenger tire while 265 indicates the tires width in millimeters. That 75 is the tire's aspect ratio and simply means the tire's height is equal to 75 percent of its width. Finally, like the first set of numbers, that R15 means it is a radial tire and has a 15" diameter.

For those who have the metric reading on their tires, you can simply plug that into the conversion calculator to determine the tire size, or find that corresponding reading on one of the below conversion charts.

Metric Standard
325/50/20 33.0"x 13.2"

Metric measurement example: 225/70R15

225 = Section width in millimeters

70 = Aspect ratio (ratio of section height to section width)

R15 = Rim diameter

R = Radial Construction, B = Bias Construction, D = Bias Belted Construction


Calculations for Measurements

Tire Width: Section width divided by 25.4 (Ex: 225 / 25.4 = 8.86")

Section Height: Tire width times aspect ratio (Ex: 8. 86" x 70% = 6.20")

Overall Diameter: Section height times 2 plus rim diameter (Ex: (6.20" x 2) + 15 = 27.40")

Comparison of tire sizes 255/65 R17 and 265/65 R17.

In the table above you can see a detailed comparison of the difference in dimensions, parameters and performance between a 255/65 R17 tire and a 265/65 R17 tire. The results of the calculations are also presented in the form of visual models (infographics), on which the tire with a size of 255/65 R17 is on top, and with a size of 265/65 R17, respectively, at the bottom. The visualization was generated in two projections: lateral (left) and frontal (right). The online calculator compares tires according to the following characteristics: diameter, width, circumference, profile height, revolutions per km, ground clearance change. Additionally, a potential deviation between the actual speed and the speed displayed on the speedometer is calculated, which can occur if the difference between tires 255/65 R17 and 265/65 R17 is significant.

If you want to compare other tyres, just select the required parameters in the drop-down fields and click on the green button.

Matching tires and rims is an important step towards safety and driving comfort for any driver. A frivolous attitude to this issue is fraught with serious consequences, both for the technical condition of the vehicle, and for the health and life of drivers and passengers. Consider this problem on SUVs, crossovers or pickup trucks of various classes. Of course, here the size range is not so large, which makes it easier to select discs for tires. To begin with, it is worth recalling what indicators are important when deciding whether tires and wheels match:

Wheel marking R13 4x98 ET35 J5 D58.6

The table below shows almost all off-road vehicle wheel sizes. We remind you that on our website there is also an option for selecting discs by car brand . Also on our website there is similar information regarding passenger cars .
