Understanding the 285/35R22 XL size

In the size code 285/35R22, 285 is the section width in millimetres (about 11.2"). 35 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 35% of the width, or roughly 99.8 mm. R22 means radial construction on a 22-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 29.9".

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 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 Pzero Corsa (PZC4) is built for

The Pirelli Pzero Corsa (PZC4) is a summer tire, tuned for maximum dry and wet grip in warm conditions; it is not intended for near-freezing temperatures. It carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol, meaning it passed a standardised severe-snow traction test. Fitment category: Passenger Car.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 80 AA A. The treadwear grade of 80 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 $533.59 per tire, a full set of four costs $2134.36. That is about 76% above the average of the 36 tires we stock in this size, reflecting its position in the range.
