Understanding the 275/50R22 size

In the size code 275/50R22, 275 is the section width in millimetres (about 10.8"). 50 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 50% of the width, or roughly 137.5 mm. R22 means radial construction on a 22-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 32.8".

The load index 111 means each tire supports up to 2,403 lbs — about 9,612 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 Firestone Destination LE3 is built for

The Firestone Destination LE3 is an all-season tire, balancing dry grip, wet traction and tread life across spring, summer and autumn conditions. Fitment category: Passenger Car, SUV/CUV.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 700 A B. The treadwear grade of 700 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 A measures straight-line wet stopping grip (AA is highest, then A, B and C). Temperature grade B reflects heat resistance at sustained speed (A is highest).

Price and value

At $210.74 per tire, a full set of four costs $842.96. That is about 16% below the average price of the 57 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 70,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $12.04 per 1,000 miles across the set.
