Understanding the 205/60R15 size

In the size code 205/60R15, 205 is the section width in millimetres (about 8.1"). 60 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 60% of the width, or roughly 123 mm. R15 means radial construction on a 15-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 24.7".

The load index 91 means each tire supports up to 1,356 lbs — about 5,424 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol H certifies the tire to 130 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 Yokohama Avid Ascend GT is built for

The Yokohama Avid Ascend GT 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. Fitment category: Passenger Car, Performance, Touring.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 740 A A. The treadwear grade of 740 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 $93.74 per tire, a full set of four costs $374.96. That is about 14% above the average of the 11 tires we stock in this size, reflecting its position in the range. Backed by a 65,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $5.77 per 1,000 miles across the set.
