Royal Black Racing Trac 235/50R17

This Royal Black Racing Trac is a high-performance all-season tire built for SUVs and light trucks. It fits a 17-inch rim and carries a 235-millimetre section width with a 50-series aspect ratio. The XL load range and load index 100 support heavier vehicle weights. A W speed rating allows sustained driving up to 168 mph.

Upgrading from standard touring tires

Drivers moving from basic all-season touring tires gain sharper steering response and higher speed capability. The jump is worth it when you want confident cornering grip on dry and wet roads without sacrificing year-round usability. The UTQG 420AA rating indicates strong traction and treadwear balance. Buyers who need dedicated winter traction or maximum fuel economy should look elsewhere.

Capacity and headroom for daily driving

The 26.3-inch overall diameter and 7/32-inch tread depth provide stable highway cruising and confident wet braking. M+S marking confirms mud and snow competence for light adverse conditions. The 4-ply XL construction handles loaded SUV duty without sidewall flex. Run-flat capability is not included, so a spare or repair kit remains necessary.

Questions about this item

What rim diameter does the 235/50R17 tire require?

This tire fits a 17-inch rim. The overall diameter is 26.3 inches and the section width is 235 mm.

How do I install the tire correctly and avoid the common mistake of fitting the wrong direction?

Mount the tire on a 17-inch rim with the black sidewall facing outward. Because the tread is non-directional, rotation direction does not matter, but the sidewall marking must face out.

When should I replace the tire based on its original tread depth?

The tire starts with 7/32 inch of tread. Plan replacement when depth reaches 2/32 inch, the legal minimum in most regions.
