Nearby sizes and effects
The neighbor table uses a ±3% overall-diameter window. That window is a tire-shop rule of thumb, not a law or a vehicle maker specification.
Sizes within 3% include 305/45R22 (32.8 in, −0.1%) and 33x12.50R22 (33.0 in, +0.5%). Small diameter changes alter indicated speed, axle clearance and revolutions per mile by a few tenths of an inch and a few tenths of a mile per hour.
- 275/50R22 → 305/45R22: diameter −0.1% (−0.02 in, −1 mm); indicated 60 mph remains 60.0 mph; axle clearance −0.01 in; revs/mi 614 → 615.
- 275/50R22 → 33x12.50R22: diameter +0.5% (+0.17 in, +4 mm); indicated 60 mph becomes 60.3 mph; axle clearance +0.09 in; revs/mi 614 → 611.

Note 1
P-metric or LT in the same size
0 LT and 8 P versions in the tables we read.
No single model in our tables is published in both P and LT versions of 275/50R22; Table 3 lists both types side by side.
On trucks and SUVs, the load ratings of the tires on an axle must add up to at least the axle’s GAWR on the certification label (49 CFR 571.110).
Vehicles on 275/50R22: not listed yet. We add a vehicle here only from its maker’s own spec sheet for that year and trim.
The size your vehicle left the factory on is printed on the tire and loading placard on the driver’s door jamb (49 CFR 571.110). Pressure and load: that placard too.

Q&A
Common questions
How large is a 275/50R22 in inches?
By the size formula a 275/50R22 is 32.8 in (834 mm) overall, with a 10.8 in (275 mm) section width and 5.4 in (138 mm) sidewall.
Do published tires match the formula?
Makers list 275/50R22 diameters from 32.87 in to 32.9 in, about +0.1% to +0.2% versus the formula.
What load ranges and weights are available?
Makers list 8 P-metric tires in this size with load ranges SL and XL. Published weights run 41.3 lbs to 48 lbs and tread depths 10/32 in to 13.5/32 in.
Where are tire load and pressure shown?
See the tire and loading placard on the driver's door jamb; federal rules require that placard on the driver’s side B-pillar and say it lists the manufacturer's recommended cold inflation pressures (49 CFR 571.110). The tire sidewall shows the maximum load rating and, for LT tires, the load-range letter (49 CFR 571.139).
Notes
Method and sources
Each number and rule comes from a source with the date it was checked.
- Sidewall = width × aspect ratio ÷ 100
- Diameter = rim × 25.4 + 2 × sidewall (mm)
- Revs per mile = 63,360 ÷ (π × diameter, in)
- True speed = dial × new diameter ÷ old diameter
- Clearance change = half the diameter change
Numbers are nominal: the tire unloaded, on its measuring rim. Revs per mile published by makers run higher than the formula. “Within 3%” is a rule of thumb tire shops use, not a law. Tire pressure: the placard on your door jamb.
