Width and diameter are the two factors that determine tire and rim compatibility. For diameter you’ll need to be sure that your tires and wheels are an exact match, e.g. a 215/65R17 tire will only fit on a 17″ diameter wheel. For example a tire size 285/35-19 has a tread width of 9.9″.
Can I use V rated tires instead of H?

Do all-season tires work in the snow?
