Understanding the 305/35R24 XL size

In the size code 305/35R24, 305 is the section width in millimetres (about 12"). 35 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 35% of the width, or roughly 106.8 mm. R24 means radial construction on a 24-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 32.4".

The load index 112 means each tire supports up to 2,469 lbs — about 9,876 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.

What the Toyo Proxes ST III is built for

The Toyo Proxes ST III is an all-season tire, balancing dry grip, wet traction and tread life across spring, summer and autumn conditions. It carries an M+S (mud and snow) marking for light winter service. It is classified for highway terrain(h/t) use.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 500 A A. The treadwear grade of 500 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 $313.30 per tire, a full set of four costs $1253.20. That is about 10% above the average of the 7 tires we stock in this size, reflecting its position in the range. Backed by a 40,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $31.33 per 1,000 miles across the set.
