- 70: the sidewall height is 70% of the width, so 285 × 70% = 199.5 mm.
- R: radial construction. A ZR in the same place is the same size with a speed marking for over 240 km/h.
- 17: it fits a 17-inch wheel. Overall diameter is 17 × 25.4 mm plus two sidewalls: 830.8 mm.
The load index and speed rating follow the size on the sidewall (for example 91V). Replace like for like or higher, as your handbook states.
