Understanding the 255/35R21 XL size

In the size code 255/35R21, 255 is the section width in millimetres (about 10"). 35 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 35% of the width, or roughly 89.3 mm. R21 means radial construction on a 21-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 28".

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 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.

What the Hankook ION EVO AS SUV (IH01A) is built for

The Hankook ION EVO AS SUV (IH01A) is an all-season tire, balancing dry grip, wet traction and tread life across spring, summer and autumn conditions. It carries an M+S (mud and snow) marking for light winter service. It is classified for highway terrain(h/t) use.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 600 A A. The treadwear grade of 600 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 $265.49 per tire, a full set of four costs $1061.96. That is about 17% below the average price of the 34 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 50,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $21.24 per 1,000 miles across the set.
