Best Answer

A 265/70R-17 has an aspect ratio or sidewall height, of 7.3" (185.5 mm) and a total diameter of 31.61" (802 mm). A 225/65R17 has a sidewall height of 5.76" (146.25 mm) diameter 28.52" (724.3 mm). Switching TO 265/70 FROM 225/65 your speedometer will read 60 mph at a true speed of 66.5 mph. Understand that the 70 and the 65 in the tire size is the % of width. Now, that information is presented for you to decide if you can swap.

Can you use 265 65 r17 instead of 225 65r17?

You couldn't use those on the same wheel(rim) and you'd have to make sure the front wheels had room when fully turned (steering) If 225/65-17 is the manufactures recommended size the answer is absolutely not. This is a 7.2% increase in overall diameter and you should never go over 3%. If you wish to go with a different tire size then go with a 245/60-15 which is an acceptable swap as long as you do not have in clearance issues on the side when the wheel is turned fully to the right/left. My advice is stick with the OEM size.

How do you figure the width of a truck tire?

Most automotive tires have adopted a standard method of tire size. e.g. 265 70 17 The 265 is the tread width in millimeters. The 70 is the height of the tire in relation to the width. In this case 70% of 265 millimeters, 18.55 mm tall. the 17 is the rim size in inches. 225 60 16 = tread width 225 millimeters Height from rim to tread 60% of 225 = 135 mm and the rim or wheel size is 16 inches. I hope this helps.
