225/60R17 tires

225/60R17 is the size on the mid-2010s compact crossover fleet: the 2012 to 2016 Honda CR-V LX, the 2013 to 2018 Toyota RAV4, the 2013 to 2019 Ford Escape, the Nissan Rogue from 2014 to 2020, the current Subaru Forester base model and the Kia Sportage LX. Below are real prices for 261 tires in stock, three picks with the manufacturers' specifications behind them, and what to know if your crossover is all-wheel drive.

What 225/60R17 tires cost

Prices are per tire, before mounting and balancing. A set of four in the mid range comes to roughly $460 to $688, and a brand rebate can take another $50 to $110 off, see this month's deals.

The crossover size that replaced the station wagon

A 17-inch wheel with a 60-series sidewall is the compromise crossover makers settled on for base and mid trims: enough sidewall to ride well and survive curbs, enough wheel to clear the brakes. The placard on nearly all of these vehicles calls for a 99 load index and an H or T speed rating, which is why almost every tire stocked in this size is a 99H or 99T touring all-season. The exceptions are the 2004 to 2010 Toyota Sienna, a minivan that shares the size and is heavier at the rear when loaded, and the Jeep Compass, whose Trailhawk trim comes on a different size with a more aggressive tread.

These are heavy vehicles for their footprint, so the tires wear faster than on the sedans the same owners drove before. A mid-range touring tire with a 65,000-mile warranty is the realistic sweet spot; the budget tier saves money up front and gives most of it back in tread life.

All-wheel drive changes the rules

Most CR-V, RAV4, Escape, Rogue and Forester models in this size are all-wheel drive, and on an all-wheel-drive vehicle the four tires should match in make, model and wear. A single new tire next to three worn ones turns at a different rate and loads the coupling that sends power to the rear axle; Subaru states this most explicitly, but Honda and Toyota say the same in their manuals. If one tire is destroyed early, replace all four or have the new one shaved to the depth of the others.

The all-wheel-drive system also makes these vehicles feel more capable in snow than their tires deserve. It helps you pull away; stopping and steering still depend entirely on the tread. If you live where it snows and want one set year-round, choose an all-weather tire with the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol rather than a plain all-season.

What the numbers on the sidewall mean

A 225/60R17 tire is 225 millimeters wide, its sidewall is 60 percent of that (about 5.3 inches tall), and it mounts on a 17-inch wheel. That works out to an overall diameter of roughly 27.6 inches. Every replacement has to match all three numbers, and the load index and speed rating on the placard inside the driver's door have to be met or exceeded.

In this size our picks are marked 99H on the Atturo AZ600, Cooper Endeavor Plus and Continental TrueContact Tour (1,709 lb per tire, rated to 130 mph). The first number is the load index, the letter the speed rating; a tire with equal or higher values than your placard is fine, a lower one is not.

Our guide on reading a tire size walks through the markings, and this one lists every load index and speed code.

Our three picks, side by side

One tire at each price level from what the retailer stocks in this size, with the mileage warranty and UTQG grades as published by the manufacturers and their retailers. Treadwear is the number to compare: it is a relative wear rate, so 700 should last roughly twice as long as 350 on the same car.

Atturo AZ600, $98.96. Our budget pick: the lowest-priced tire in this size with a specification sheet we could actually check. An all-season tire with a 60,000-mile tread life warranty. The manufacturer does not publish a UTQG grade for this model, so compare on warranty and tread depth instead. It does not carry the 3PMSF symbol; in the snow belt treat it as a three-season tire or look at the all-weather options. A set of four comes to $395.84 before mounting.

Cooper Endeavor Plus, $149.99. The mid-range pick, and the default for most drivers of the vehicles listed on this page. An all-season tire with a 65,000-mile tread life warranty. The published UTQG grade is 680 A A: a treadwear number of 680 puts it among the longest-wearing tires in this size. It does not carry the 3PMSF symbol; in the snow belt treat it as a three-season tire or look at the all-weather options. Extras: 45-day test drive, Wear Square tread indicator, 10.5/32" new tread depth. A set of four comes to $599.96 before mounting.

Continental TrueContact Tour, $180.99. The premium pick, for the owner who keeps the vehicle a long time and drives it a lot. An all-season tire with a 80,000-mile tread life warranty (80,000 mi for T and H speed ratings; 70,000 mi for V). The published UTQG grade is 800 A A in a representative size: a treadwear number of 800 puts it among the longest-wearing tires in this size. It does not carry the 3PMSF symbol; in the snow belt treat it as a three-season tire or look at the all-weather options. Extras: Total Confidence Plan: road hazard, customer satisfaction trial. A set of four comes to $723.96 before mounting.

What 225/60R17 tires cost across the whole range

Of the 348 tires listed in this size, 261 are in stock today. The lowest price is the Lionhart Lionclaw HT at $79.96, a 99H tire. The median is $142.99; a third of the tires cost $114.93 or less, and the top five percent start above $225.99.

The same tires in neighboring sizes

The Atturo AZ600, our budget pick here at $98.96, is also stocked in 215/65R16 ($87.99), 235/60R18 ($110.99), 225/60R18 ($103.99) and 225/55R17 ($94.99). The Cooper Endeavor Plus, our mid-range pick here at $149.99, is also stocked in 225/65R17 ($157.99), 235/60R18 ($179.99), 235/65R17 ($164.99) and 235/55R19 ($193.96). The Continental TrueContact Tour, our premium pick here at $180.99, is also stocked in 225/60R16 ($145.96) and 185/65R15 ($118.99). Useful if your vehicle came with a different wheel package, or if you are comparing an upsize: the same tire usually costs more per inch of wheel, not per inch of rubber.

Winter in this size: what the states actually require

Crossovers in this size come both ways, front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, and the difference matters under the traction laws. In Colorado the Passenger Vehicle Traction Law applies on the 126 miles of I-70 between Dotsero and Morrison from September 1 to May 31. You need either an all-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive vehicle, or tires marked M+S, 3PMSF or rated all-weather by the manufacturer, and in every case at least 3/16 inch of tread. Fines start at $130. An AWD crossover passes on the vehicle alone; a front-wheel-drive one does not, and then the tire marking is what the trooper checks. If you want one set year-round in the snow belt, an all-weather tire with the 3PMSF symbol is the better answer than a plain all-season.

None of our picks in this size, the Atturo AZ600, Cooper Endeavor Plus and Continental TrueContact Tour, carries the 3PMSF symbol; for that, look at the all-weather and winter tires.

Which type of 225/60R17 tire?

Frequently asked questions

How much do 225/60R17 tires cost?

Expect $80–$115 per tire for a budget brand, $115–$172 for a mid-range tire like the Cooper Endeavor Plus, and $172–$226 for a premium tire like the Continental TrueContact Tour. A set of four therefore starts at about $320. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.

What vehicles use 225/60R17 tires?

225/60R17 is original equipment on Honda CR-V (2012-2016, LX), Toyota RAV4 (2013-2018, LE/XLE), Ford Escape (2013-2019, S/SE), Subaru Outback (2010-2014), Subaru Forester (2019-2024, base), Nissan Rogue (2014-2020, S/SV), Kia Sportage (2017-2022, LX), Toyota Sienna (2004-2010, XLE) and Jeep Compass (2017-2024, Latitude/Limited 17 in), among others. Always confirm with the sticker inside your driver's door, because trim levels and wheel packages can change the size.

What is the best 225/60R17 tire?

For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Cooper Endeavor Plus, is the sweet spot of price and tread life. If you keep the vehicle a long time or drive in heavy rain and snow, the Continental TrueContact Tour is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Atturo AZ600 is a sound choice.

Can I replace just one or two 225/60R17 tires?

On a front- or rear-wheel-drive car, yes: replace in pairs on the same axle and put the newer pair on the rear. On all-wheel-drive vehicles most makers want all four replaced together, or a new tire shaved to match, because a difference in circumference strains the drivetrain.
