Royal Black Racing Trac 215/55R16 tyre

The Royal Black Racing Trac is a new high-performance all-season passenger tyre sized 215/55R16 with a 97 load index and V speed rating. It carries an XL load range for extra capacity and a 420AA UTQG grade showing 420 treadwear with A traction and A temperature resistance. The 25.3 inch overall diameter fits 16 inch rims and the black sidewall gives a clean look.

Check rim width and vehicle fitment before ordering

Verify that your wheels are 16 inch diameter and an approved width for a 215 section tyre before purchase. Confirm the 97 load index and V speed rating meet or exceed the vehicle manufacturer's placard requirements. This tyre is not suitable for drivers who need run-flat capability or a dedicated winter compound with the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol.

XL construction and black sidewall for daily driving

The XL rating means reinforced sidewalls that resist deformation under heavier loads without changing the 7/32 inch tread depth. Black sidewalls hide brake dust and curb scuffs better than white-letter designs. The all-season tread pattern balances wet grip and dry handling for year-round use on sedans and family cars.

Questions about this item

Does the tyre come with a rim or do I need to buy one separately?

The listing states rim not included; images may show a wheel for display only and the purchase includes the tyre alone.

Which load and speed rating should I choose for a family sedan that sees motorway speeds?

Load index 97 and speed rating V are specified, with XL marking extra-load capacity for heavier passenger cars.

What does the UTQG 420 AA rating tell me about everyday wear and wet grip?

Treadwear 420 indicates comparative durability, traction A and temperature A show strong wet braking and heat resistance.
