235/60R17 tires
235/60R17 is a less common crossover size, and that is the first thing to know about it: several mid-size crossovers that people associate with it, such as the Kia Sorento, Hyundai Santa Fe Sport and first Ford Edge, are listed in manufacturer fitment data on 235/65R17 instead. If the placard on your door says 235/60R17, below are real prices for 159 tires in stock, three picks with their size-specific specifications, and why the two sizes are not interchangeable.
Yes, this fits your Chevrolet Captiva Sport. 235/60R17 is the original size on the 2012-2014 Chevrolet Captiva Sport.
The sticker inside the driver's door is still the final word, because trim and wheel package can change the size. Back to every Chevrolet Captiva Sport size.

235/60R17 is not a substitute for 235/65R17
The two sizes share a width and a wheel, but the 60-series sidewall is shorter. A 235/60R17 is about 28.1 inches tall, a 235/65R17 about 29 inches, so swapping one for the other changes the speedometer reading by around three percent and lowers the vehicle by close to half an inch. On an all-wheel-drive crossover it also gives the stability and traction systems wheel speeds they were not calibrated for.
If a shop offers you 235/60R17 because it is in stock and 235/65R17 is not, say no. Read the placard on the driver's door jamb, and look at the sidewall of the tires you have now: a previous owner may already have fitted the wrong size.
An all-weather option in this size
Our premium pick is an all-weather tire. It carries the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol, so it is certified for severe snow, but it is designed to stay on all year, with a 60,000-mile warranty and a 700 A A grade in this size. For a crossover owner in a state with real winters who does not want to store a second set, it is a better answer than an all-season.
What the numbers on the sidewall mean
A 235/60R17 tire is 235 millimeters wide, its sidewall is 60 percent of that (about 5.6 inches tall), and it mounts on a 17-inch wheel. That works out to an overall diameter of roughly 28.1 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 106H on the Milestar Weatherguard AS710 Sport (2,094 lb per tire, rated to 130 mph), 102T on the General AltiMAX RT45 (1,874 lb per tire, rated to 118 mph) and 102H on the Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady (1,874 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.

Milestar Weatherguard AS710 Sport, $138.95. An extra-load 106H all-season with 11/32 inch of tread and a 720 A A grade, warranted for 70,000 miles in this size. The highest load rating of the three, at 2,094 pounds per tire.
General AltiMAX RT45, $170.99. General's long-life all-season in a standard-load 102T version, with the longest warranty here, 75,000 miles for T-rated sizes. It is graded 700 A B and weighs 26 pounds, the lightest of the three.
Goodyear Assurance All-Season, $198.07. In this size the retailer stocks Goodyear's all-weather Assurance WeatherReady, with the 3PMSF symbol, a 60,000-mile warranty and a compound designed to grip on wet, snowy and icy roads. Our pick for one-set-all-year driving in the snow belt.
What 235/60R17 tires cost across the whole range
Of the 210 tires listed in this size, 159 are in stock today. The lowest price is the Zeta Etalon at $85.96, a 103S tire. The median is $140.96; a third of the tires cost $113.06 or less, and the top five percent start above $215. Those are per-tire prices before mounting and balancing, which adds $15 to $45 per tire at most shops, read from the retailer's feed Oct 24, 2026.
The same tires in neighboring sizes
The Milestar Weatherguard AS710 Sport, our budget pick here at $138.95, is also stocked in 215/50R17 ($121.99), 215/65R17 ($122.99), 225/50R17 ($120.99) and 225/65R17 ($118.65). The General AltiMAX RT45, our mid-range pick here at $170.99, is also stocked in 215/60R17 ($156.99), 205/65R15 ($120.99), 215/50R17 ($162.99) and 215/55R17 ($160.99). 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. Prices per tire, from the retailer's feed Oct 24, 2026.
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 General AltiMAX RT45, carries the 3PMSF symbol; for that, look at the all-weather and winter tires.

Frequently asked questions
How much do 235/60R17 tires cost?
Expect $86–$113 per tire for a budget brand, $113–$162 for a mid-range tire like the General AltiMAX RT45, and $162–$215 for a premium tire like the Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady. A set of four therefore starts at about $344. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.
What vehicles use 235/60R17 tires?
235/60R17 is original equipment on Toyota Sienna (2011-2020, L/LE/XLE FWD), Ford Taurus (2010-2017, SE) and Chevrolet Captiva Sport (2012-2014, LS/LT), 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 235/60R17 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the General AltiMAX RT45, 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 Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Milestar Weatherguard AS710 Sport is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 235/60R17 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.
