What’s important When choosing 285/70 R17 tyres?

If you drive a lot on a daily basis, the best option would be to choose 285/70 R17 winter tyres or 285/70 R17 summer tyres, depending on the season. However, if you use your car less often, don’t want to change tyres 2 times a year and mostly drive in the city where the roads are cleaned more often, you can also choose 285/70 R17 all-season tyres.

It is important to consider the specific needs and driving conditions of your vehicle. It is important to ensure that the tyre size is compatible with the rims of your vehicle and to make sure that the load and speed indices of the tyre meet or exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations

A tyre size such as 285/70 R17 consists of four parameters:

The first number up to the slash indicates the width of the tyre in millimetres. The most popular tyre widths are usually between 185 mm – 275 mm.

The second number between the slash and the R indicates the sidewall height of the tyre, but note that this value is given as a percentage of the width of the tyre. example: 274/40R20 and 315/35R20 tyres will have the same overall circumference and sidewall height.

The third letter R means that this is a radial tyre, there is also a ZR to indicate that the tyre has an increased speed index and can be safely used at high speeds. In recent times, this ZR designation has been used quite rarely.

The fourth, last two digits indicate the diameter of the tyre in inches and it is important here that the last 285/70 R17 of the size matches the size of the rim of your car.

If you have chosen a tyre in size 285/70 R17 we recommend that you double check that the size you have chosen is suitable for your car and existing rims.
