Understanding the 295/40ZR19 XL size

In the size code 295/40R19, 295 is the section width in millimetres (about 11.6"). 40 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 40% of the width, or roughly 118 mm. R19 means radial construction on a 19-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 28.3".

The load index 108 means each tire supports up to 2,205 lbs — about 8,820 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 Michelin Pilot Sport 4 is built for

The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 is a summer tire, tuned for maximum dry and wet grip in warm conditions; it is not intended for near-freezing temperatures. Fitment category: Passenger Car, CAR, Performance, UHP.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 320 AA A. The treadwear grade of 320 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 $326.24 per tire, a full set of four costs $1304.96. That sits close to the average for the 7 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 20,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $65.25 per 1,000 miles across the set.
