Understanding the 235/75R15 size

In the size code 235/75R15, 235 is the section width in millimetres (about 9.3"). 75 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 75% of the width, or roughly 176.3 mm. R15 means radial construction on a 15-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 28.9".

The load index 105 means each tire supports up to 2,039 lbs — about 8,156 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol T certifies the tire to 118 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 640 A A. The treadwear grade of 640 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 $93.89 per tire, a full set of four costs $375.56. That is about 22% below the average price of the 73 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 75,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $5.01 per 1,000 miles across the set.
