A stronger sidewall lets this tyre carry more weight than a standard tyre of the same size. Marked XL on the sidewall.
255/60 R17 is a relatively big tyre size, common as original equipment on some VW Touareg and Mercedes M-Class vehicles. The first number, 255, is the width of the tyre in mm. The second number, 60, is the aspect ratio. In this case, the sidewall height is 60% of the tyre width, which is 255mm. So, the sidewall height is 153mm. R17 indicates that this is a radial tyre, which is meant to be fitted on a 17-inch rim. With mathematical approximation, this gives an overall diameter of 738mm. The tall sidewall also gives cushioning from road edges on these SUVs. We stock this tyre size at Tyres.co.uk.
