When choosing new tires for your SUV you should make sure to replace them with the same size that you are using currently. If your SUV came equipped with tires of the dimension 225/65/17 than it is very important when changing tires, to change into the same size tires. This means if you are in the market for SUV all-weather tires, that you buy 225/65/17 all-weather tires. When choosing tires for SUVs it is also important to keep in mind the special needs of SUVs, being a heavier vehicle, braking and handling will be different than for smaller passenger cars. Also, with an SUV you might plan on taking it off road or on rougher terrain making grip and traction of even more importance. This is why the choosing the right dimension tires is very important. The right dimensions assure proper braking and handling of the SUV. Dimensions of the tires also play a role in traction and hydroplaning protection. Narrower tires being better at redirecting water then wider tires whereas wider tires offer more traction. This however only holds true if your tires are of good quality and allow for a good grip on the road. It is also important to keep in mind the fact that the 4-wheel drive option is only a help in acceleration not in braking. Since the SUVs are a much heavier vehicle the grip and traction are of even bigger importance, to allow the SUV to be able to stop.
