Understanding the 205/55ZR14 size
In the size code 205/55R14, 205 is the section width in millimetres (about 8.1"). 55 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 55% of the width, or roughly 112.8 mm. R14 means radial construction on a 14-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 22.9".
The load index 85 means each tire supports up to 1,135 lbs — about 4,540 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.
Tread life and grip ratings
This tire carries a UTQG rating of 100 AA A. The treadwear grade of 100 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 $147.00 per tire, a full set of four costs $588.00.
