Understanding the 215/50R17 XL size

In the size code 215/50R17, 215 is the section width in millimetres (about 8.5"). 50 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 50% of the width, or roughly 107.5 mm. R17 means radial construction on a 17-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 25.5".

The load index 95 means each tire supports up to 1,521 lbs — about 6,084 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.

What the Nexen Nblue 4SEASON 2 is built for

The Nexen Nblue 4SEASON 2 is an all-weather tire — a year-round option certified for severe snow service, so it can stay on the vehicle through winter. It carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol, meaning it passed a standardised severe-snow traction test. Fitment category: Passenger Car, CAR, Performance, Touring.

Tread life and grip ratings

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

Price and value

At $125.25 per tire, a full set of four costs $501.00. That sits close to the average for the 106 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 70,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $7.16 per 1,000 miles across the set.
