TBC Arctic Claw Winter WXI 215/55R17 98T XL

This new touring winter tire is built for passenger cars, SUVs and CUVs that need reliable cold-weather grip. It carries a 98 load index and a T speed rating approved for up to 118 mph. The studdable design lets drivers add metal studs where local laws permit. A 4-ply XL construction supports heavier vehicle loads.

Practical limits of the winter touring standard

The tire uses a 215 mm section width and a 55 aspect ratio on a 17 inch rim, giving an overall diameter of 26.3 inches. Tread depth starts at 11/32 inch and the asymmetric pattern is pinned for optional studs. M+S marking confirms mud and snow capability, but the tire is not run-flat and carries no UTQG treadwear grade.

Deciding specification: load range XL

The XL load range and 98 load index determine whether this tire can carry the weight your vehicle places on each corner. If the placard calls for a higher load index or a different load range, this size will not meet the requirement. Buyers who need a higher load capacity or a different speed rating must select another tire.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 215/55R17 98T XL size or a different width?

The 215/55R17 size fits 17-inch rims with a 215 mm section width and 55 aspect ratio; the XL marking indicates extra load capacity for heavier passenger vehicles.

What does the 98T rating mean for daily driving?

Load index 98 and speed rating T mean the tyre is certified for speeds up to 118 mph while carrying its maximum rated load.

Is this tyre pinned for studs and how does that affect winter use?

Yes, the tyre is studdable so metal studs can be installed for extra ice grip; the asymmetric tread and winter compound already provide strong snow and wet traction without studs.
