Understanding the 225/60R18 XL size

In the size code 225/60R18, 225 is the section width in millimetres (about 8.9"). 60 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 60% of the width, or roughly 135 mm. R18 means radial construction on a 18-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 28.6".

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 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 Pirelli Pzero AS Plus 3 is built for

The Pirelli Pzero AS Plus 3 is an all-season tire, balancing dry grip, wet traction and tread life across spring, summer and autumn conditions. Fitment category: Passenger Car.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 600 AA 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 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 $172.63 per tire, a full set of four costs $690.52. That is about 15% above the average of the 123 tires we stock in this size, reflecting its position in the range.
