Understanding the 275/40R19 XL size

In the size code 275/40R19, 275 is the section width in millimetres (about 10.8"). 40 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 40% of the width, or roughly 110 mm. R19 means radial construction on a 19-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 27.7".

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 V certifies the tire to 149 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 Michelin Crossclimate 2 is built for

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