Understanding the 195/50R19 size

In the size code 195/50R19, 195 is the section width in millimetres (about 7.7"). 50 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 50% of the width, or roughly 97.5 mm. R19 means radial construction on a 19-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 26.7".

The load index 88 means each tire supports up to 1,235 lbs — about 4,940 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 Michelin Primacy A/S is built for

The Michelin Primacy A/S 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. Fitment category: Passenger Car, Performance, HP.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 540 B A. The treadwear grade of 540 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 B 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 $195.74 per tire, a full set of four costs $782.96. That is about 17% above the average of the 6 tires we stock in this size, reflecting its position in the range. Backed by a 45,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $17.40 per 1,000 miles across the set.
