Understanding the 235/45R17 XL size

In the size code 235/45R17, 235 is the section width in millimetres (about 9.3"). 45 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 45% of the width, or roughly 105.8 mm. R17 means radial construction on a 17-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 25.3".

The load index 97 means each tire supports up to 1,609 lbs — about 6,436 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol W certifies the tire to 168 mph under its rated load. Always match or exceed the load index and speed rating listed on your vehicle's door-jamb placard.

What the Nitto Motivo 365 is built for

It carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol, meaning it passed a standardised severe-snow traction test.
