Understanding the 185/55R16 size

In the size code 185/55R16, 185 is the section width in millimetres (about 7.3"). 55 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 55% of the width, or roughly 101.8 mm. R16 means radial construction on a 16-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 24".

The load index 83 means each tire supports up to 1,074 lbs — about 4,296 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol T certifies the tire to 118 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 560 A B. The treadwear grade of 560 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 B reflects heat resistance at sustained speed (A is highest).

Price and value

At $98.99 per tire, a full set of four costs $395.96. That is about 19% below the average price of the 18 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 65,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $6.09 per 1,000 miles across the set.
