Understanding the 255/40R19 XL size

In the size code 255/40R19, 255 is the section width in millimetres (about 10"). 40 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 40% of the width, or roughly 102 mm. R19 means radial construction on a 19-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 27".

The load index 100 means each tire supports up to 1,764 lbs — about 7,056 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 340 A A. The treadwear grade of 340 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 A 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).
