Understanding the 245/40R19 XL size

In the size code 245/40R19, 245 is the section width in millimetres (about 9.6"). 40 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 40% of the width, or roughly 98 mm. R19 means radial construction on a 19-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 26.7".

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 V certifies the tire to 149 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 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 $184.77 per tire, a full set of four costs $739.08. That is about 12% below the average price of the 129 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 70,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $10.56 per 1,000 miles across the set.
