Understanding the 285/45R21 XL size

In the size code 285/45R21, 285 is the section width in millimetres (about 11.2"). 45 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 45% of the width, or roughly 128.3 mm. R21 means radial construction on a 21-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 31.1".

The load index 113 means each tire supports up to 2,535 lbs — about 10,140 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.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 520 A A. The treadwear grade of 520 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 $276.74 per tire, a full set of four costs $1106.96. That is about 31% below the average price of the 44 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 50,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $22.14 per 1,000 miles across the set.
