About the Toyo Celsius

All-Weather Passenger Car Touring tire.

Features

* Variable sipe density - higher sipe density on inside tread and lower sipe density on outside tread* Snow claws* Slush grooves* Multi-wave sipes* Carries the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) symbol* 500 Miles/45 Days Trial Offer* 60,000 Mile Limited Treadwear Warranty (for staggered fitments, rear tires are eligible for 50% of the stated mileage warranty)

Benefits

* For excellent traction on ice and snow and traction on wet and dry roads* Improves deep snow traction and increases block rigidity for better ice and wet traction* Evacuates slush for increased traction on slush and snow* Minimizes irregular wear for a smooth, quiet ride and improves braking on icy, wet and dry roads* Meets the required performance criteria for Use in Severe Snow Conditions

Understanding the 215/55R17 size

In the size code 215/55R17, 215 is the section width in millimetres (about 8.5"). 55 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 55% of the width, or roughly 118.3 mm. R17 means radial construction on a 17-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 26.3".

The load index 98 means each tire supports up to 1,653 lbs — about 6,612 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol V certifies the tire to 149 mph under its rated load. Always match or exceed the load index and speed rating listed on your vehicle's door-jamb placard.

What the Toyo Celsius is built for

The Toyo Celsius is an all-weather tire — a year-round option certified for severe snow service, so it can stay on the vehicle through winter. It carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol, meaning it passed a standardised severe-snow traction test. Fitment category: Passenger Car, CAR, Performance, Touring.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 440 A A. The treadwear grade of 440 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).

Price and value

At $106.46 per tire, a full set of four costs $425.84. That is about 14% below the average price of the 139 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 60,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $7.10 per 1,000 miles across the set.
