FAQs: 225/65R17 Tires
Can I use 235/65R17 instead of 225/65R17?
It’s about +1.8% taller and wider; clearance depends on wheel width/offset, suspension, and liners. We’ll verify before recommending.
What about 225/60R17?
That’s roughly –3.1% shorter; it can affect speedometer and ride height. Always follow your placard and ask us to confirm the change.
SL vs. XL—what should I choose?
SL suits many crossovers; XL supports higher loads/pressures for heavier trims or cargo. Match or exceed your door placard.
Do I need LT tires for my SUV?
Most crossovers use P-metric (SL/XL). LT (e.g., LT225/65R17) is for frequent towing/work or rough roads—availability varies by line.
What tire pressure should I run?
Use the door-placard PSI as baseline. LT tires often need higher PSI to carry the same load—ask us for vehicle-specific guidance.
