Understanding the 235/50R17 size

In the size code 235/50R17, 235 is the section width in millimetres (about 9.3"). 50 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 50% of the width, or roughly 117.5 mm. R17 means radial construction on a 17-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 26.3".

The load index 96 means each tire supports up to 1,565 lbs — about 6,260 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol V certifies the tire to 149 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 Goodyear Assurance Comfortdrive is built for

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

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 700 A A. 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 A reflects heat resistance at sustained speed (A is highest).

Price and value

At $134.99 per tire, a full set of four costs $539.96. That sits close to the average for the 61 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 65,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $8.31 per 1,000 miles across the set.
