Understanding the 215/65R17 size

In the size code 215/65R17, 215 is the section width in millimetres (about 8.5"). 65 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 65% of the width, or roughly 139.8 mm. R17 means radial construction on a 17-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 28".

The load index 99 means each tire supports up to 1,709 lbs — about 6,836 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 Dunlop Blue Response A/S is built for

The Dunlop Blue Response A/S is an all-season tire, balancing dry grip, wet traction and tread life across spring, summer and autumn conditions. It carries an M+S (mud and snow) marking for light winter service. Fitment category: Passenger Car, Performance, Touring.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 820 A A. The treadwear grade of 820 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 $125.25 per tire, a full set of four costs $501.00. That sits close to the average for the 84 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 80,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $6.26 per 1,000 miles across the set.
