The 225/60R17 is a common tire size for midsize sedans such as Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, and Hyundai Sonata.
With a 135.0 mm sidewall (60% aspect ratio), this tire provides a smooth, cushioned ride that absorbs road imperfections well — ideal for daily commuting and highway cruising.
Compared to the baseline 225/50R17, this tire's overall diameter differs by +6.9% — a speedometer calibrated for 225/50R17 would read 93.6 km/h at an actual 100 km/h.
OE on the Subaru Outback (BR 2009-2014) 2.5i and Mitsubishi Outlander (CW 2005-2012). Load index 99V or 103H reinforced. Tall sidewall on a 17" rim suits soft-roader crossovers that occasionally see unpaved access roads.
Crossover and mid-size SUV sizes carry significantly higher loads than passenger-car sizes of similar width, so the load index — not just the speed rating — is the spec to verify on replacement. Reinforced (XL/RF) versions are commonly OE; downgrading to standard-load risks sidewall failure on cargo-laden highway runs. Tread-pattern selection (H-T vs A-T) drives most of the noise and wet-grip difference.
