Sources and calculation notes
225/65R17 has a nominal width of 225 mm and an estimated outside diameter of 28.52 inches. Actual tire dimensions vary by manufacturer and operating conditions.
Method: Sidewall height in mm = width × aspect ratio / 100. Estimated diameter in mm = rim inches × 25.4 + 2 × sidewall height; circumference = π × diameter.
Scope: Actual inflated size and rolling circumference vary by product, load, pressure and wear. Fitment also requires clearance, rim width, load and speed checks.
