About the 315/35R17 size
The hardest classic-era size in this list to buy. 315/35ZR17 was the rear tire on the ZR-1 and on the 1996 Grand Sport, on an 11 in wide wheel, originally a Goodyear Eagle GS-C, and only two or three current models are made in it. Expect to pay more per tire than for a 20 in modern performance size and expect long lead times; some suppliers only order on demand. There is no all-season option and no budget tier. Because the ZR-1 set is staggered with 275/40ZR17 at the front, buy all four together from one range or accept a mismatch.
What the numbers on the sidewall mean
A 315/35R17 tire is 315 millimeters wide, its sidewall is 35 percent of that (about 4.3 inches tall), and it mounts on a 17-inch wheel. That works out to an overall diameter of roughly 25.7 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 93V on the Toyo Proxes TQ (1,433 lb per tire, rated to 149 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.

What 315/35R17 tires cost across the whole range
Of the 10 tires listed in this size, 7 are in stock today. The lowest price is the Mickey Thompson Street Comp UHP Summer at $203.96, a 102W tire. The median is $293.15; a third of the tires cost $287 or less, and the top five percent start above $355.

The same tires in neighboring sizes
The Nitto NT555 G2, our budget pick here at $287, is also stocked in 255/45R17 ($188.99), 255/50R17 ($232.99), 265/40R19 ($298) and 285/35R19 ($358). 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 and this size: summer tires are not winter tires
Many tires sold in this size are summer tires, and the manufacturers advise against driving them in near-freezing temperatures: the compound hardens, grip drops sharply and the tread can crack. They also carry no M+S or 3PMSF marking, so a car on summer tires fails Colorado's Passenger Vehicle Traction Law outright on the 126 miles of I-70 between Dotsero and Morrison, in force from September 1 to May 31, unless it is all-wheel drive with at least 3/16 inch of tread; fines start at $130. If the car is driven year-round in a state with real winters, either run an all-season or all-weather tire in this size or keep a second set of winter tires, often on a smaller, narrower wheel that is also less expensive.
None of our picks in this size, the Nitto NT555 G2, carries the 3PMSF symbol; for that, look at the all-weather and winter tires.

Frequently asked questions
How much do 315/35R17 tires cost?
Expect $204–$287 per tire for a budget brand, $287–$302 for a mid-range tire like the Toyo Proxes TQ, and $302–$355 for a premium tire like the Michelin Pilot Sport (Michelin Collection). A set of four therefore starts at about $816. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.
What vehicles use 315/35R17 tires?
315/35R17 is original equipment on Chevrolet Corvette C4 ZR-1 (1990-1995, rear) and Chevrolet Corvette C4 Grand Sport (1996, rear), 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 315/35R17 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Toyo Proxes TQ, 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 Michelin Pilot Sport (Michelin Collection) is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Nitto NT555 G2 is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 315/35R17 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.
