Understanding the 265/40R21 XL size

In the size code 265/40R21, 265 is the section width in millimetres (about 10.4"). 40 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 40% of the width, or roughly 106 mm. R21 means radial construction on a 21-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 29.3".

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 Toyo Proxes Sport 2 is built for

The Toyo Proxes Sport 2 is a summer tire, tuned for maximum dry and wet grip in warm conditions; it is not intended for near-freezing temperatures. Fitment category: Passenger Car, Performance, UHP.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 240 AA A. The treadwear grade of 240 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 $234.26 per tire, a full set of four costs $937.04. That is about 25% below the average price of the 63 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 25,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $37.48 per 1,000 miles across the set.
