Understanding the 225/35R20 XL size

In the size code 225/35R20, 225 is the section width in millimetres (about 8.9"). 35 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 35% of the width, or roughly 78.8 mm. R20 means radial construction on a 20-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 26.2".

The load index 90 means each tire supports up to 1,323 lbs — about 5,292 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.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 260 AA A. The treadwear grade of 260 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 $182.52 per tire, a full set of four costs $730.08. That sits close to the average for the 18 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 30,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $24.34 per 1,000 miles across the set.
