What sizes are close to 215/55R17?
Of the common sizes we track, 215/60R16 (about 26.2 in) is within about 0.6% of 215/55R17 in diameter, and 245/45R18 (about 26.7 in) is within about 1.4%.
Each one fits a different wheel diameter, and width changes affect clearance too. Keep any alternate within about 3% of the original diameter, and confirm it against your vehicle placard before you buy.
How do I check a used 215/55R17 tire that has been repaired?
Look inside the tire. A proper repair is a patch or patch-plug combination sealed on the inner liner, in the tread area.
Industry repair guidelines generally limit repairs to punctures in the tread, up to about 1/4 in, and rule out repairs in the shoulder or sidewall. A plug near the edge of the tread, or more than one repair close together, is a reason to pass.
Then check tread depth and the DOT date like any used tire. Stop by the shop and we can show you what we see.
