The easiest way to confirm that 225/65R17 is correct is to look at the tires currently on your vehicle and read the size directly from the sidewall. Also make sure the load index (102) and speed rating (H) meet or exceed what you're running now. If you're unsure, we're happy to help you confirm fitment before ordering.
