About the 235/60R17 size
Mid-size crossover size, H/V rated with 102 load index. Comfort-oriented CUV tires are the norm; a common Volvo winter size.
The numbers mean: 235 mm section width, sidewall height 60 % of that width, and a 17-inch rim. Overall diameter works out to about 28.1 inches. Any replacement has to match all three, and the load index and speed rating on your door sticker must be met or exceeded. Our guide on reading a tire size walks through it.

What vehicles use 235/60R17 tires?
235/60R17 is original equipment on Kia Sorento (2011-2015, LX), Hyundai Santa Fe Sport (2013-2018), Ford Edge (2007-2010, SE), Nissan Murano (2003-2007, upsize), Volvo XC70 (2008-2016), Volvo XC90 (2003-2014, base) and Mazda CX-9 (2007-2015, Sport), among others. Always confirm with the sticker inside your driver's door, because trim levels and wheel packages can change the size.
What is the best 235/60R17 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Cooper Endeavor Plus, is the sweet spot of price and tread life. If you keep the vehicle a long time or drive in heavy rain and snow, the Michelin CrossClimate2 is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Ironman iMove Gen 2 AS is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 235/60R17 tires?
On a front- or rear-wheel-drive car, yes: replace in pairs on the same axle and put the newer pair on the rear. On all-wheel-drive vehicles most makers want all four replaced together, or a new tire shaved to match, because a difference in circumference strains the drivetrain.
