Understanding the 225/50R17 XL size

In the size code 225/50R17, 225 is the section width in millimetres (about 8.9"). 50 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 50% of the width, or roughly 112.5 mm. R17 means radial construction on a 17-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 25.9".

The load index 98 means each tire supports up to 1,653 lbs — about 6,612 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol Y certifies the tire to 186 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 Pirelli Cinturato P7 is built for

The Pirelli Cinturato P7 is a summer tire, tuned for maximum dry and wet grip in warm conditions; it is not intended for near-freezing temperatures. Run-flat construction lets you keep driving a limited distance at reduced speed after a loss of pressure. Fitment category: Passenger Car.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 260 AA A. The treadwear grade of 260 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 AA 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 $196.47 per tire, a full set of four costs $785.88. That is about 45% above the average of the 146 tires we stock in this size, reflecting its position in the range.
