Understanding the 175/65R14 size

In the size code 175/65R14, 175 is the section width in millimetres (about 6.9"). 65 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 65% of the width, or roughly 113.8 mm. R14 means radial construction on a 14-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 23".

The load index 82 means each tire supports up to 1,047 lbs — about 4,188 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 580 A B. The treadwear grade of 580 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 $48.74 per tire, a full set of four costs $194.96. That is about 21% below the average price of the 14 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 60,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $3.25 per 1,000 miles across the set.
