235/65R17 tires

235/65R17 is the base-model size on the current Honda CR-V LX and Nissan Rogue S, and the long-running size on the Kia Sorento, Hyundai Santa Fe and 17-inch Chrysler Pacifica. It also fits the 1999 to 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the first-generation Volvo XC60. Below are real prices for 294 tires in stock, three picks with the manufacturers' specifications behind them, and why the load index matters more here than on a smaller crossover.

What 235/65R17 tires cost

Prices are per tire, before mounting and balancing. A set of four in the mid range comes to roughly $500 to $720, and a brand rebate can take another $50 to $110 off, see this month's deals.

A heavier class of vehicle

The vehicles on this list weigh 3,700 to 4,500 pounds and several of them, the Sorento, Santa Fe and Pacifica, are three-row family haulers that often run close to their gross weight. That is why the placard calls for a 104 load index, higher than the 99 on a RAV4-size crossover, and why the tires in this size are mostly highway all-seasons built for SUVs rather than passenger-car touring tires. A 104H or 104T covers every vehicle here; a few trims specify V, so check the placard before saving money on a T.

Weight also means wear. A Pacifica or Santa Fe on a 55,000-mile tire will often see 40,000 real miles because the fronts carry the engine and most of the braking. Rotating every oil change and checking the alignment once a year matter more on these than on a compact car.

CR-V and Rogue base models: what the higher trims tell you

Honda and Nissan put 235/65R17 on the LX and S trims and move to 235/60R18 or 235/55R19 on the EX, Touring and SV grades. The 17-inch size has the tallest sidewall of the three, which is why base models often ride better than the trims above them, and why the tire costs noticeably less. If you own a higher trim and are tempted to buy 17-inch wheels for winter, the base model's size is the one to use: the overall diameter is nearly identical, so the speedometer and stability control stay accurate.

The older vehicles here, the 1999 to 2004 Grand Cherokee and the 2010 to 2017 XC60, are commonly fitted with the same highway all-seasons, but the Grand Cherokee has a strong following for light all-terrain tires in this size. They work, but they are louder and wear the AWD system no differently, so the usual rule applies: all four at once.

What the numbers on the sidewall mean

A 235/65R17 tire is 235 millimeters wide, its sidewall is 65 percent of that (about 6.0 inches tall), and it mounts on a 17-inch wheel. That works out to an overall diameter of roughly 29 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 104V on the Kelly Edge Touring Plus (1,984 lb per tire, rated to 149 mph) and 104H on the Cooper Endeavor Plus and Bridgestone Alenza Sport A/S (1,984 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.

Kelly Edge, $145.96. Our budget pick: the lowest-priced tire in this size with a specification sheet we could actually check. An all-season tire with a 55,000-mile tread life warranty. The published UTQG grade is 500 A B in a representative size: a treadwear number of 500 is typical for this type of tire. A set of four comes to $583.84 before mounting.

Cooper Endeavor Plus, $164.99. 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 $659.96 before mounting.

Bridgestone Alenza, $229.90. 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. The manufacturer does not publish a UTQG grade for this model, so compare on warranty and tread depth instead. A set of four comes to $919.60 before mounting.

What 235/65R17 tires cost across the whole range

Of the 378 tires listed in this size, 294 are in stock today. The lowest price is the Sailun Terramax HLT at $85.96, a 104T tire. The median is $145.99; a third of the tires cost $124.96 or less, and the top five percent start above $224.96. 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 Nov 13, 2026.

The same tires in neighboring sizes

The Cooper Endeavor Plus, our mid-range pick here at $164.99, is also stocked in 235/55R19 ($193.96), 235/60R18 ($179.99), 225/60R17 ($149.99) and 225/65R17 ($157.99). 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 Nov 13, 2026.

Winter on an SUV in this size

Most SUVs in this size are all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, which is enough to satisfy Colorado's Passenger Vehicle Traction Law on the 126 miles of I-70 between Dotsero and Morrison, in force from September 1 to May 31, as long as the tires have at least 3/16 inch of tread. A two-wheel-drive version must instead be on tires marked M+S, 3PMSF or rated all-weather by the manufacturer. Fines start at $130. Four driven wheels help you pull away, not stop: a heavy SUV on worn all-seasons needs much more road to brake on snow than the same vehicle on a tire with the 3PMSF symbol, so in the snow belt choose the tire, not just the drivetrain.

None of our picks in this size, the Cooper Endeavor Plus and Bridgestone Alenza Sport A/S, carries the 3PMSF symbol; for that, look at the all-weather and winter tires.

Which type of 235/65R17 tire?

Frequently asked questions

How much do 235/65R17 tires cost?

Expect $86–$125 per tire for a budget brand, $125–$180 for a mid-range tire like the Cooper Endeavor Plus, and $180–$225 for a premium tire like the Bridgestone Alenza Sport A/S. A set of four therefore starts at about $344. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.

What vehicles use 235/65R17 tires?

235/65R17 is original equipment on Honda CR-V (2017-2022, LX), Honda CR-V (2023-2024, LX), Nissan Rogue (2021-2024, S), Kia Sorento (2014-2020, LX/EX), Hyundai Santa Fe (2013-2023, SE), Chrysler Pacifica (2017-2024, Touring 17 in), Jeep Grand Cherokee (1999-2004, Limited), Volvo XC60 (2010-2017, base) and Hyundai Santa Fe Sport (2013-2018, base), 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 235/65R17 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 Bridgestone Alenza Sport A/S is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Kelly Edge Touring Plus is a sound choice.

Can I replace just one or two 235/65R17 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.
