Understanding the 245/55R19 size

In the size code 245/55R19, 245 is the section width in millimetres (about 9.6"). 55 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 55% of the width, or roughly 134.8 mm. R19 means radial construction on a 19-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 29.6".

The load index 103 means each tire supports up to 1,929 lbs — about 7,716 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 Hercules Terra Trac Cross-V AW is built for

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

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 700 A A. The treadwear grade of 700 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 $156.00 per tire, a full set of four costs $624.00. That is about 12% below the average price of the 80 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 65,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $9.60 per 1,000 miles across the set.
