Understanding the 295/35ZR21 XL size

In the size code 295/35R21, 295 is the section width in millimetres (about 11.6"). 35 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 35% of the width, or roughly 103.3 mm. R21 means radial construction on a 21-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 29.1".

The load index 107 means each tire supports up to 2,149 lbs — about 8,596 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol Y certifies the tire to 186 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 220 AA A. The treadwear grade of 220 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 $366.74 per tire, a full set of four costs $1466.96. That is about 17% above the average of the 51 tires we stock in this size, reflecting its position in the range. Backed by a 20,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $73.35 per 1,000 miles across the set.
