Typical use
Often found on modern saloons, crossovers and road-focused vehicles using 17-inch wheels.
Buyer priorities
- Stable highway behaviour.
- Comfortable ride over uneven road surfaces.
- Wet-weather grip.
- Correct load and speed specification.
Road pattern first
For normal urban and highway use, look for a road/touring pattern appropriate to the vehicle rather than an A/T or M/T design. If the vehicle is a crossover, do not assume it needs a rugged pattern simply because it is an SUV-shaped vehicle.
Fitment considerations
Check the vehicle placard or approved specification before fitting. A change in profile or width can affect overall diameter, clearance and speedometer accuracy.
Brands to ask about for this size
