Every rated 275/35R17 tire, by season

Ranked by our Relative score, weighed against how many reviews and tests stand behind it.

How scores work

Relative score: 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, it uses that one.
Ranking: A score backed by only a few reviews or tests is pulled toward the typical score before ranking, so a 95 from a dozen reviews can rank below a 92 from hundreds.

Parameter	Meaning
275	The first number is the section width — 275 mm, or about 10.8 inches across the widest part of the tire.
35	The second number is the aspect ratio: sidewall height as a percentage of width. At 35%, the sidewall is about 96 mm tall.
R17	R means radial construction, which nearly all modern tires use. The number is the rim diameter in inches — this tire fits a 17-inch wheel.
