Understanding the 235/65R18 size

In the size code 235/65R18, 235 is the section width in millimetres (about 9.3"). 65 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 65% of the width, or roughly 152.8 mm. R18 means radial construction on a 18-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 30".

The load index 106 means each tire supports up to 2,094 lbs — about 8,376 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 Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 is built for

The Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 is an all-season tire, balancing dry grip, wet traction and tread life across spring, summer and autumn conditions. It is classified for highway terrain(h/t) use.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 800 A A. The treadwear grade of 800 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 $161.00 per tire, a full set of four costs $644.00. That sits close to the average for the 108 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 70,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $9.20 per 1,000 miles across the set.
