Understanding the 235/55ZR19 XL size

In the size code 235/55R19, 235 is the section width in millimetres (about 9.3"). 55 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 55% of the width, or roughly 129.3 mm. R19 means radial construction on a 19-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 29.2".

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 Y certifies the tire to 186 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 Pirelli Pzero (PZ4) is built for

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 280 AA A. The treadwear grade of 280 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 AA 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 $207.78 per tire, a full set of four costs $831.12. That is about 11% above the average of the 173 tires we stock in this size, reflecting its position in the range.
