About this tire size calculator

A size like 225/45R17 means a 225 mm wide tire whose sidewall is 45% of the width, on a 17-inch rim. Overall diameter = 2 × sidewall + rim: 24.97 inches here. Changing size changes the diameter, and with it the speedometer reading; staying within about ±3% of the original diameter is the common guideline.
