Understanding the 215/60R17 size

In the size code 215/60R17, 215 is the section width in millimetres (about 8.5"). 60 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 60% of the width, or roughly 129 mm. R17 means radial construction on a 17-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 27.2".

The load index 96 means each tire supports up to 1,565 lbs — about 6,260 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol H certifies the tire to 130 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 Nexen Roadian ATX is built for

It carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol, meaning it passed a standardised severe-snow traction test. Fitment category: Undefined.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 600 A B. 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 B reflects heat resistance at sustained speed (A is highest).

Price and value

At $129.75 per tire, a full set of four costs $519.00. That sits close to the average for the 83 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 70,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $7.41 per 1,000 miles across the set.
