What this size means for your Jeep Compass

On the 2013 Jeep Compass Limited, the factory 215/65R17 measures about 28″ in overall diameter with a 139.8 mm (5.5″) sidewall, and completes roughly 720 revolutions per mile. Its 65-series aspect ratio gives a taller, comfort-biased sidewall that favors ride quality and shrugs off rough pavement. In tire terms it is a passenger (P-metric / Euro-metric) size.

The 215/65R17 and 215/55R18 differ by about 0.7″ (2.6%) in overall diameter; a gap this size is enough to affect speedometer and odometer readings, so confirm which one your vehicle actually left the factory with.

How to read a tire size

A tire size like 225/45R17 breaks down into three parts: the first number is the section width in millimeters (the tire's width from sidewall to sidewall), the second is the aspect ratio — the sidewall's height as a percentage of that width — and the number after the "R" is the rim diameter in inches. A letter prefix (P or LT) indicates Passenger or Light Truck construction; its absence usually means Euro-metric sizing.

Some trucks and off-road tires instead use "flotation" sizing, like 37X12.50R17 — here the numbers are the tire's overall diameter and width in inches directly, with the rim diameter last.

Always verify against the tire information placard on your driver's-side door jamb or your owner's manual before purchasing — tire size can vary by factory option package even within the same trim.
