Understanding the 225/50R16 size

In the size code 225/50R16, 225 is the section width in millimetres (about 8.9"). 50 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 50% of the width, or roughly 112.5 mm. R16 means radial construction on a 16-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 24.9".

The load index 92 means each tire supports up to 1,389 lbs — about 5,556 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol V certifies the tire to 149 mph under its rated load. Always match or exceed the load index and speed rating listed on your vehicle's door-jamb placard.

What the Hankook Ventus V2 CONCEPT2 H457 is built for

The Hankook Ventus V2 CONCEPT2 H457 is an all-season tire, balancing dry grip, wet traction and tread life across spring, summer and autumn conditions. It carries an M+S (mud and snow) marking for light winter service. Fitment category: Passenger Car, Performance, HP.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 500 AA A. The treadwear grade of 500 is a relative durability score — a grade of 200 is expected to last roughly twice as long as a grade of 100 under the same controlled test. Traction grade AA measures straight-line wet stopping grip (AA is highest, then A, B and C). Temperature grade A reflects heat resistance at sustained speed (A is highest).

Price and value

At $83.24 per tire, a full set of four costs $332.96. That is about 41% below the average price of the 25 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 45,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $7.40 per 1,000 miles across the set.
