2. Alternative variants of the tyre sizes can be found in the service and repair manual for your car.

Features of 17 inch tyres for SUVs and crossovers
Installation of 17 inch tires instead of tyres with a smaller rim diameter has the following advantages:
Better vehicle steerability and stability in cornering. 17 inch tyres, if chosen with regard to the manufacturer's technical recommendations, have lower profile, as compared to 16 inch tires. Sturdy sidewalls withstand high loads well, and are not deformed when cornering. This parameter is particularly important for those who operate the vehicle on roads with high quality asphalt surface.
More efficient braking. Due to the wide profile and increased contact patch with the road, 17 inch tyres ensure shorter braking distances on hard surfaces, both dry and wet.
Increased off-road performance on heavy off-road terrain. When driving across swampy terrain, where the specific pressure on the surface is important, 17 inch tyres are more reliable and efficient than 16 inch tires, mainly due to the increased contact patch and improved traction and grip characteristics.
Stylish exterior. If a crossover or SUV with smaller rim diameter tires in the standard configuration is equipped with 17 inch tyres, it'll look more stylish and sporty. But before giving preference to large tires, check whether such replacement is permitted by the manufacturer of the vehicle.
The advantages of installing 17 inch tyres instead of tyres with larger rim diameter:
Soft and smooth car movement. Due to the greater height of the profile and less rigid sidewalls, 17 inch tires absorb vibrations from rough roads well.
The minimum risk of damaging components of the suspension. Thanks to improved damping properties of 17 inch tyres, the degree of protection for components of the suspension is improved, particularly, for the wheel discs, which is especially important if the vehicle is operated on roads with poor quality surface.
Lower fuel consumption and improved dynamics. 17 inch tires weigh less than 18 inch ones, therefore, spinning-up of the wheels equipped with them requires less energy. This not only results in a reduced fuel consumption, but also improves dynamic performance of the vehicle.
