Tire companies often have tire size calculators where you can enter your vehicle and get OEM sizes as well as alternate sizes. Try www.discounttiredirect.com. They are a site sponsor. Another is www.tirerack.com.

You can get the experience of others on this site here: Which tires fit & which ones don't (17")

From what I've read there were 2 sizes of tires available depending on the package.

 

Hi, new to this forum and have a question about my beloved Jeep Patriot sport 4x4 2008 model.
It currently has 215/60 R17 tyres but they don't look like they belong. On investigation I found that 215/65 R17 tyres were the original tyre according to the internet. Thought I would ask a group of dedicated enthusiasts what they thought. Would my jeep take 215/65 R17 tyres?

Yes, that's the size mine came with.

If you want to know what size yours came with originally, you can use your VIN to get a build sheet that will tell you:

Copy and paste the link below (minus quotes) into your browser , then replace the xxxx's.... with your 17 digit VIN and you should get your vehicle's build sheet in PDF format.

On my Sport 4x4, I've had the Toyo Open Country A/T 2 (235/65R17) - with slight rub on full wheel lock, but not damaging. Time to replace, so I'm getting the BFG all-terrains at 225/65R17 today. Happy to report back.
