Did you know ...?

235/50 R17 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for summer tyres - there are 15 tyre models available, which can be compared to 195/70 R15, 195/45 R15, 205/50 R16. Let's break down the sizing - 50 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 50% of the tyre width (235mm), which means the sidewall height has 117.5 mm. The wheel diameter is R17, which means it fits to a 17 inch/431.8mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 2094.81 mm, which is very similar to 265/30 R20(2095.44 mm), 305/30 R19(2091.04 mm), 205/70 R15(2098.58 mm), 225/35 R20(2090.73 mm), 265/35 R19(2098.9 mm), 215/55 R17(2099.53 mm), 235/45 R18(2100.78 mm).
