255/40 R17 Tyre Specifications

255/40 R17 is a staggered low profile rear fitment for certain Porsche 911 and Boxster S models. 255 is the width in mm, and 40 is the aspect ratio. So, 40% of 255mm gives 102mm sidewall, which is the height of the tyre; in a performance or sports car this sidewall is kept low to manage flex of the tyre in a turn. R17 means radial and 17 inches. This size has an overall diameter of 636mm. Tyres.co.uk has 255/40 R17 in stock.
