In 215/55R17, the first number 215 represents the tire width of 215MM, 55 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire cross-section is 55%, meaning the section height is 55% of the width, 17 stands for the rim diameter of 17 inches, and the middle letter "R" denotes a radial tire.

If you want to replace the tires yourself, you can follow these steps: Take out the spare tire and jack, place the jack under the vehicle frame of the tire to be replaced, ensuring the jack touches the metal part of the frame; Raise the jack until it supports the car, the jack should be under the vehicle, check and ensure the jack is at a right angle to the ground; Remove the hubcap, loosen the nuts counterclockwise, do not completely loosen them, just enough to eliminate resistance, when loosening the nuts for the first time, keeping the tire on the ground ensures that the nuts turn rather than the tire; Turn the nuts counterclockwise until they are loose, repeat this step for all lug nuts, completely remove the nuts; Place the new tire on the hub, carefully align the tire rim with the wheel bolts, install the lug nuts, tighten the nuts by hand until all nuts are concealed, at this point the tire replacement is complete.
