Understanding the 265/45R21 size

In the size code 265/45R21, 265 is the section width in millimetres (about 10.4"). 45 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 45% of the width, or roughly 119.3 mm. R21 means radial construction on a 21-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 30.4".

The load index 104 means each tire supports up to 1,984 lbs — about 7,936 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 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 $266.48 per tire, a full set of four costs $1065.92. That is about 12% below the average price of the 36 tires we stock in this size.
