Understanding the 285/40ZR17 size
In the size code 285/40R17, 285 is the section width in millimetres (about 11.2"). 40 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 40% of the width, or roughly 114 mm. R17 means radial construction on a 17-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 26".
The load index 100 means each tire supports up to 1,764 lbs — about 7,056 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol W certifies the tire to 168 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 340 AA A. The treadwear grade of 340 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 $225.74 per tire, a full set of four costs $902.96. That is about 12% above the average of the 2 tires we stock in this size, reflecting its position in the range. Backed by a 30,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $30.10 per 1,000 miles across the set.
