Royal Black Racing Trac 205/45ZR17 88W XL

Royal Black Racing Trac 205/45R17

The Royal Black Racing Trac is a high-performance all-season tyre built for passenger cars. It fits a 17-inch rim with a 205 mm section width and a 45 aspect ratio. The tyre carries an XL load rating and a W speed symbol allowing sustained speeds up to 168 mph. A UTQG 420 AA grade indicates strong treadwear and wet traction.

Drivers wanting year-round grip on sedans and coupes

This tyre suits owners of passenger vehicles who need reliable wet and dry grip in varying temperatures without switching sets. It is not intended for light-truck or SUV applications that require a higher load index. Buyers seeking a dedicated winter tyre for severe snow and ice should consider a separate seasonal set. The 7/32-inch tread depth is optimised for highway and spirited road use.

XL load rating and W speed symbol

The XL marking means the casing is reinforced to carry heavier loads at the same inflation pressure as a standard-load equivalent. Combined with the 88 load index and W speed rating, the construction supports high-speed stability for performance-oriented saloons. Verify the vehicle placard specifies an XL tyre before fitting.
