Understanding the 215/70R16 size

In the size code 215/70R16, 215 is the section width in millimetres (about 8.5"). 70 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 70% of the width, or roughly 150.5 mm. R16 means radial construction on a 16-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 27.9".

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 S certifies the tire to 112 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 480 A B. The treadwear grade of 480 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 $103.49 per tire, a full set of four costs $413.96. That is about 12% below the average price of the 73 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 55,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $7.53 per 1,000 miles across the set.
