What the Size 225/65R17 Means
Tire size plays a major role in how your vehicle rides, handles, and carries weight. The 225/65R17 designation refers to the tire's width, sidewall profile, and wheel diameter (17 inches).

Light Truck (LT) Tire Considerations
As a Light Truck (LT) tire, this Pirelli 225/65R17 Scorpion Weatheractive is built with a stronger internal construction to handle higher loads and tougher use. LT tires are commonly used on pickup trucks, vans, and SUVs that tow, haul, or carry heavier cargo. The SL rating indicates reinforced sidewalls designed to support higher inflation pressures and added durability.
Fitment Guidance
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.
Care Tips to Maximize Tire Life
- Maintain proper air pressure: Check monthly to support even wear and handling.
- Rotate tires regularly: Helps extend tread life and improve consistency.
- Balance on installation: Reduces vibration and uneven wear.
