Understanding the 295/35R19 XL size

In the size code 295/35R19, 295 is the section width in millimetres (about 11.6"). 35 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 35% of the width, or roughly 103.3 mm. R19 means radial construction on a 19-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 27.1".

The load index 104 means each tire supports up to 1,984 lbs — about 7,936 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.
