Tire size calculator
Compare two tire sizes side by side: overall diameter, width, sidewall height, circumference and revolutions per mile, plus how your speedometer reading changes. Type sizes in any common format.
LT265/70R17 compared with 265/70R17
The new size (265/70R17) has the same overall diameter as the current size (LT265/70R17) to two decimal places.
| Measurement | Current (LT265/70R17) | New (265/70R17) | Difference (new minus current) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Overall diameter | 31.6 in (803 mm) | 31.6 in (803 mm) | 0.0 in (0 mm), 0.00% |
| Section width | 10.4 in (265 mm) | 10.4 in (265 mm) | 0.0 in (0 mm) |
| Sidewall height | 7.3 in (186 mm) | 7.3 in (186 mm) | 0.0 in (0 mm) |
| Circumference | 99.3 in (2522 mm) | 99.3 in (2522 mm) | 0.0 in (0 mm) |
| Revolutions per mile | 638 | 638 | 0 |
These are nominal design dimensions. Real tires vary by brand, tread depth, wheel width, load and pressure.
Is the difference small?
The overall diameter differs by 0.00%, which is within the common 3% rule of thumb.
The rule of thumb keeps a replacement size within about 3% of the original overall diameter. It covers diameter only. It is not a fit, load or safety check, because width, wheel diameter, load capacity and clearance matter too. Confirm any size change with your vehicle's owner's manual or a tire professional.
Speedometer difference
The two sizes have the same overall diameter to two decimal places, so the speedometer reading would not change in any way you could see.
| Speedometer shows | Actual speed | Difference |

| 20 mph | 20.0 mph | 0.0 mph |
| 30 mph | 30.0 mph | 0.0 mph |
