What size tires come on a 2017 Dodge Durango?
The Durango’s tire size depends on the wheel size and trim level. In general, 18-inch wheels use P255/70R18 tires, while 20-inch wheels use P265/50R20 tires. Exact sizing can vary with trim and option packages, so it’s best to verify for your specific vehicle.
For context, the 2017 Durango offered multiple trims and wheel configurations. While many base models rode on 18-inch wheels with standard all-season tires, higher trims and optional wheel packages commonly arrived with larger 20-inch wheels and correspondingly different tire sizes. The definitive source for your car is the door jamb placard and the owner's manual, but this article provides a practical overview of typical OEM sizes and how to confirm yours.
Common OEM tire sizes by wheel diameter
Below are the two most frequent configurations found on 2017 Durango models. Exact sizes may vary if your vehicle has a rare option package or aftermarket wheels.
- 18-inch wheels: typically P255/70R18 tires on base SE/SXT models
- 20-inch wheels: typically P265/50R20 tires on higher trims such as GT, Limited, and R/T (and some Citadel configurations) with factory 20-inch wheels
In short, the two most common OEM sizes correlate with the wheel diameter your Durango came with. If you’re unsure which wheel size your vehicle uses, check the door jamb placard or the owner’s manual for the exact specification.
How to verify the tire size on your Durango
To confirm the exact OEM tire size for your specific Durango, use these steps. This ensures replacement tires match the vehicle’s design and performance specifications.
- Check the tire sidewall for the size markings (for example, P255/70R18 or P265/50R20).
- Inspect the driver’s door placard, which lists the recommended tire size, inflation pressures, and load ratings for front and rear tires.
- Consult the owner’s manual or the manufacturer’s website for trim-specific specifications.
- If your Durango has aftermarket wheels or a different wheel package, verify that a replacement tire shares the same diameter and fits safely with the wheel and suspension clearance.
Note: Replacing with a tire size significantly different from the OEM specification can affect speedometer accuracy, handling, and warranty. When in doubt, stick to the OEM size or choose a size within one step of width/ratio as advised by the manufacturer.
Summary
The 2017 Dodge Durango commonly used two primary OEM tire sizes based on wheel size: P255/70R18 for 18-inch setups and P265/50R20 for 20-inch setups. Because trim level and optional wheel packages affect the exact size, always verify on the vehicle’s placard or in the owner's manual. When replacing tires, aim to match the original size to preserve performance, safety, and instrumentation accuracy.
