Understanding the 195/45ZR15 size

In the size code 195/45R15, 195 is the section width in millimetres (about 7.7"). 45 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 45% of the width, or roughly 87.8 mm. R15 means radial construction on a 15-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 21.9".

The load index 78 means each tire supports up to 937 lbs — about 3,748 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol W certifies the tire to 168 mph under its rated load. Always match or exceed the load index and speed rating listed on your vehicle's door-jamb placard.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 300 AA A. The treadwear grade of 300 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 $60.74 per tire, a full set of four costs $242.96. That sits close to the average for the 2 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 25,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $9.72 per 1,000 miles across the set.
