Understanding Your Jeep Tire Size

Every Jeep tire is labeled with a mix of numbers and letters — but knowing what they mean is key to choosing the right replacement. For example, a 285/70R17 tire can seem confusing until you break it down:

  • 285 = Tire width in millimeters
  • 70 = Aspect ratio (the height as a percentage of width)
  • R17 = Radial tire for a 17-inch wheel

Use our free calculator to quickly convert these measurements into standard U.S. inch sizes, so you can easily compare tires and visualize how they’ll look and perform on your Jeep.

Metric to Standard Jeep Tire Conversion Made Simple

If you’re moving from stock tires to an upgraded set — especially after installing a lift kit or larger Jeep wheels — it’s essential to understand how metric sizes translate to standard ones. Our tool instantly converts common Jeep tire sizes, helping you determine:

  • Overall tire diameter (important for speedometer accuracy)
  • Sidewall height (affecting ride comfort and off-road traction)
  • Width in inches (impacting clearance and stance)

Whether you’re preparing for a set of 33-inch all-terrains for your Wrangler JL, or stepping up to 35s on your Gladiator JT, this chart provides the quick data you need.

Optimized for Jeep Owners Everywhere

From the rugged trails of Moab, Utah to the winding mountain roads of Pennsylvania, the right tire size keeps your Jeep performing at its best.

Quadratec’s Jeep Tire Size Calculator is built specifically for Jeep vehicles, helping owners across the U.S. match their tires and wheels with confidence.

Metric measurement example: 225/70R15

  3. R15 = Rim diameter
  4. R = Radial Construction, B = Bias Construction, D = Bias Belted Construction

Calculations for Measurements

  1. Tire Width: Section width divided by 25.4 (Ex: 225 / 25.4 = 8.86")
  2. Section Height: Tire width times aspect ratio (Ex: 8.86" x 70% = 6.20")
  3. Overall Diameter: Section height times 2 plus rim diameter (Ex: (6.20" x 2) + 15 = 27.40")
