Understanding the 205/70R15 size

In the size code 205/70R15, 205 is the section width in millimetres (about 8.1"). 70 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 70% of the width, or roughly 143.5 mm. R15 means radial construction on a 15-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 26.3".

The load index 96 means each tire supports up to 1,565 lbs — about 6,260 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 $59.99 per tire, a full set of four costs $239.96. That is about 31% below the average price of the 28 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 60,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $4.00 per 1,000 miles across the set.
