The 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix GT came from the factory equipped with 225/55R17 tires. If your vehicle has since been fitted with aftermarket or upsized wheels, your actual tire size may no longer match this factory spec — always confirm against your door placard before buying.

What this size means for your Pontiac Grand Prix
On the 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix GT, the factory 225/55R17 measures about 26.7″ in overall diameter with a 123.8 mm (4.9″) sidewall, and completes roughly 754 revolutions per mile. Its 55-series aspect ratio gives a balanced everyday-passenger profile — enough sidewall to soak up road shock while keeping steering response crisp. In tire terms it is a passenger (P-metric / Euro-metric) size.
On a vehicle of this age, the Pontiac Grand Prix may have been refitted with a slightly different replacement size somewhere in its life, so check the current sidewall — not just the factory spec — before buying.

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.
