235/80R17 in inches

235/80R17 — what does it mean?

• 80 is an aspect ration between the tread width and the sidewall in percents
• R means that the tire has a radial construction
• 17 is a wheel diameter (or rim) in inches

How to convert 235 80R17 to inches?

First of all, we need to divide 235 mm (width) by 25.4 (mm to inch conversion), which will give us a width of 9.3″. Then, 80% of the 9.3″ will result in 7.4″ sidewall.

To get the total height or tire diameter, we need to sum the 17″ rim diameter with two of the sidewall heights. It will result in a 31.8″ total tire diameter (or height).
