What Does 225/65R17 Actually Mean?
Quick decoder. 225 is the tread width in millimeters (about 8.9 inches of rubber touching the road). 65 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 65% of the tread width, which works out to roughly 5.8 inches of sidewall. R17 means radial construction on a 17-inch wheel. Overall diameter: approximately 28.5 inches. Section width: 9.0 inches.
That 65-series sidewall is the defining feature of this size. It is taller than a typical sedan tire (which runs 50 to 55 series), which means more cushion over bumps, potholes, and rough pavement. For crossover owners who spend most of their time on highways and suburban roads, that extra sidewall translates directly into ride comfort. The trade-off is slightly slower steering response compared to a lower-profile tire, but for a RAV4 or CR-V, comfort wins.

The recommended wheel width for 225/65R17 is 6.0" to 7.0" for the Trail Blade H/T and Trail Blade ATS, and 6.0" to 8.0" for the AZ610. Most factory crossover wheels in this size are 6.5" to 7.0", which fits all three models.
AZ610: The Direct OE Replacement
The AZ610 is the direct OE replacement for the all-season tires that came on your RAV4, CR-V, Forester, or Rogue. Same category, same ride character, same priorities: smooth, quiet highway driving. 60,000-mile warranty. UTQG 560 A A: strong treadwear with A-grade traction and temperature ratings. This is the tire for drivers whose priority list starts with "quiet" and ends with "comfortable."
At $122.40 per tire, the AZ610 is the most affordable option in this 225/65R17 lineup (by $10.20 per tire versus the Trail Blade H/T, a $40.80 difference per set of four). Sloped shoulder corners provide stable steering during cornering. Rib slots reduce road noise at both high and low speeds. Circumferential grooves improve water and slush evacuation while enhancing straight-line stability. Weight: 29.3 lbs. Tread depth: 10/32". Approved rim width: 6.0" to 8.0".
The AZ610 holds a 4.1 average across 150+ reviews on SimpleTire, making it the most reviewed Atturo tire in this size. Owners praise dry traction and ride comfort, though some reviews note faster-than-expected tread wear and limited snow grip.
Trail Blade H/T: The All-Weather Upgrade
The Trail Blade H/T is Atturo's all-weather highway tire that upgrades key metrics over a standard all-season OE tire: deeper tread (12/32" vs typical 10/32"), 3PMS snow certification, and a more aggressive appearance while keeping the quiet ride. 3PMS certified for light snow and winter traction. 60,000-mile warranty. UTQG 600 A A: the highest treadwear rating in this 225/65R17 lineup, with A-grade traction and A-grade temperature resistance.
At $132.60 per tire, the H/T sits at a price point that makes it one of the most competitive highway touring options in the 225/65R17 market (where premium alternatives typically run $150 to $200 per tire). Tread depth starts at 12/32" — the deepest in this lineup — which means more rubber to wear through before replacement. Combined with the 60,000-mile warranty, the H/T is engineered for drivers who measure value in cost-per-mile. Weight: 32.0 lbs. Approved rim width: 6.0" to 7.0".
Three linked center ribs deliver predictable handling and straight-line stability. 3D sipes provide additional biting edges in wet, snowy, and icy conditions while reducing noise. Four circumferential grooves evacuate water, slush, and snow from the contact patch.
The Trail Blade H/T in 225/65R17 is a new addition to the lineup, so owner reviews are still building. Check atturo.com/product/trail-blade-ht for the latest.
Trail Blade ATS: The Trail-Ready Option
The Trail Blade ATS bridges the gap between highway touring and all-terrain capability. 3PMS certified (2024 or newer production tires bear the snowflake symbol). 50,000-mile warranty. UTQG 540 A B: the B-grade temperature rating reflects the more aggressive compound designed for mixed-surface traction.
At $148.20 per tire, the ATS costs $15.60 more per tire than the H/T ($62.40 more per set of four). That premium buys a more aggressive tread pattern with wider channels that flush out mud, gravel, and debris, plus shoulder blocks that grip on soft and loose surfaces. For a RAV4 owner who takes the occasional forest service road, campsite access trail, or gravel driveway, the ATS delivers genuine off-pavement traction that goes beyond what touring tires are designed to provide. Weight: 28.2 lbs (the lightest tire in this 225/65R17 lineup). Approved rim width: 6.0" to 7.0".
The Trail Blade ATS holds a 4.8 average across 55+ reviews on SimpleTire. Wide channels reduce noise and stop debris buildup. Center rib stabilization enhances steering response. Shoulder blocks deliver consistent traction across conditions.
Size-Up Option: Trail Blade X/T in 235/65R17
For crossover owners who want a slightly bigger tire look — especially Subaru Outback, Crosstrek Wilderness, and Forester owners — the 235/65R17 is a popular size-up from the factory 225/65R17. The difference is modest but visible: 0.6 inches taller (29.1" vs 28.5" overall diameter) and 0.4 inches wider (9.4" vs 9.0" section width). That adds presence while keeping stock suspension and fenders intact on most crossovers.
The Trail Blade X/T in 235/65R17 combines a knife-blade-inspired sidewall with a hybrid tread that bridges all-terrain and mud-terrain capability. At $174.40 per tire, it delivers a more aggressive tread pattern, 14/32" tread depth (the deepest option across all tires in this guide), and a 45,000-mile warranty. UTQG 460 A B. Load rating: 108H XL. Approved rim width: 6.5" to 8.5". Weight: 34.6 lbs.
The X/T holds a 4.6 average across 390+ reviews on SimpleTire, making it one of the most reviewed tires in the Atturo lineup. For Subaru owners who want that lifted, trail-ready look on stock suspension with aggressive sidewall styling, the 235/65R17 X/T is the move.

How to Choose
Start with one question: do you ever drive on unpaved surfaces?
If the answer is yes (gravel roads, campsite access, forest service roads, dirt driveways, light trails), the Trail Blade ATS is the only tire in this lineup with a tread pattern designed for mixed-surface traction. It still rides well on highway, but it can handle surfaces where touring tires cannot. 3PMS certified, 50,000-mile warranty.
If the answer is strictly paved roads, the choice is between the Trail Blade H/T and the AZ610. Both carry 60,000-mile warranties. Both are H-speed rated (130 mph). Both have 9.0" section width and 28.5" overall diameter. The differences come down to three things:
Winter traction: The H/T is 3PMS certified (snowflake symbol). The AZ610 does not carry 3PMS certification. If you drive in regions where snow and ice are part of the commute — and many RAV4 and CR-V owners do — the H/T is the safer choice.
Tread depth: The H/T starts at 12/32", the AZ610 at 10/32". That 2/32" difference means more tread to wear through before replacement. For high-mileage drivers (20,000+ miles per year), the H/T offers more runway.
Ride noise: Both are well-suited for highway driving. The AZ610 uses a rib-only tread pattern. The H/T uses 3D sipes. On-road noise differences between the two are minimal.
And here is the math for a set of four. AZ610: $489.60. Trail Blade H/T: $530.40 (just $40.80 more for 3PMS + deeper tread). Trail Blade ATS: $592.80. The ATS costs $62.40 more per set than the H/T, which is the price of mixed-surface capability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use 225/65R17 on my RAV4 year-round?
Yes. All three Atturo tires in this size are designed for year-round use. The Trail Blade H/T and Trail Blade ATS carry 3PMS certification for light snow and winter traction. The AZ610 is an all-season tire that performs well in rain and light snow conditions. For regions with heavy snowfall and regular ice, a dedicated winter tire set provides the best safety margin.
What is the difference between 3PMS certified and all-season?
3PMS (Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake) is a standardized test that measures traction on packed snow. Tires that pass earn the snowflake symbol on the sidewall. All-season tires may perform adequately in light winter conditions, but 3PMS-certified tires have been independently verified to meet a minimum traction threshold on snow. In this lineup, the Trail Blade H/T and Trail Blade ATS carry 3PMS. The AZ610 is an all-season tire.
How does UTQG 600 compare to UTQG 540 and 560?
UTQG treadwear is a comparative rating — higher number equals longer expected tread life. The Trail Blade H/T at 600 is the longest-wearing tire in this lineup. The AZ610 at 560 is in the middle. The Trail Blade ATS at 540 wears slightly faster (the more aggressive tread compound prioritizes mixed-surface grip over pure longevity). All three carry A-grade traction ratings. The ATS carries a B-grade temperature rating (reflecting the all-terrain compound), while the H/T and AZ610 carry A-grade temperature.
Will 225/65R17 fit my CR-V with factory 18-inch wheels?
225/65R17 fits 17-inch wheels only. If your CR-V came with 18-inch wheels (common on EX-L, Touring, and Sport Touring trims), you would need either a separate set of 17-inch wheels (popular for winter tire setups) or tires in your factory 18-inch size. Atturo offers multiple models in common CR-V 18-inch sizes including 225/60R18 and 235/60R18. Check atturo.com/sizing for exact availability.
Is the Trail Blade ATS loud on the highway?
The ATS has a more aggressive tread pattern than the H/T or AZ610, which means slightly more road noise at highway speeds — that is the physics of wider channels and larger tread blocks. Owners on SimpleTire describe it as "quiet enough for daily highway driving," which is consistent with the all-terrain crossover category. If cabin silence is the top priority, the AZ610 or Trail Blade H/T is the better fit.
Where can I buy Atturo 225/65R17 tires?
Available through SimpleTire, Discount Tire, and authorized Atturo dealers. Use the Atturo dealer locator and sizing tool to confirm availability in your specific size.
