About 235/60R17
Factory fitments for 235/60R17 include the Jeep Compass — meaning replacement tires in this size see steady demand and broad brand availability. At 28.10″ overall diameter, 235/60R17 turns 718 revolutions per mile, which is the reference point the factory speedometer and odometer were calibrated against. The 60% aspect ratio gives it a balanced sidewall — enough compliance for daily comfort without vague steering. The 17″ rim pairing is typical for light-truck, crossover, and mid-size SUV applications, so compatible wheels are easy to source new or used. Going one step shorter to 215/65R17 drops diameter by 0.35%, which stays within the ±3% fitment safe zone for most vehicles. Stepping up to 225/65R17 adds 1.47% diameter — also inside the safe window, with marginally taller ride height. If you are shopping for a direct replacement, any tire within roughly ±0.7″ of the 28.10″ stock diameter (about ±2% in percentage terms) will keep ABS, TPMS, and odometer readings inside the vehicle's designed tolerance.
