Understanding the 205/5017 size

In the size code 205/50R17, 205 is the section width in millimetres (about 8.1"). 50 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 50% of the width, or roughly 102.5 mm. R17 means radial construction on a 17-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 25.1".

The load index 89 means each tire supports up to 1,279 lbs — about 5,116 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.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 820 A B. The treadwear grade of 820 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 $157.49 per tire, a full set of four costs $629.96. That is about 20% above the average of the 109 tires we stock in this size, reflecting its position in the range. Backed by a 85,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $7.41 per 1,000 miles across the set.
