Understanding the 265/40R21 XL size

In the size code 265/40R21, 265 is the section width in millimetres (about 10.4"). 40 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 40% of the width, or roughly 106 mm. R21 means radial construction on a 21-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 29.3".

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 Y certifies the tire to 186 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 Pirelli Scorpion Zero AS Plus 3 is built for

The Pirelli Scorpion Zero AS Plus 3 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 560 AA A. The treadwear grade of 560 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 $263.41 per tire, a full set of four costs $1053.64. That is about 16% below the average price of the 63 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 50,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $21.07 per 1,000 miles across the set.
