The 225/65R17 is a common tire size for midsize sedans such as Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, and Hyundai Sonata.
With a 146.3 mm sidewall (65% 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 +10.3% — a speedometer calibrated for 225/50R17 would read 90.7 km/h at an actual 100 km/h.
OE on the Toyota RAV4 (XA40), Honda CR-V (RM), Mazda CX-5 (KE) and Subaru Forester (SJ). Load index 102H or 106V reinforced. Together with 235/65R17, the dominant compact-SUV fitment of the 2010s decade.
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.
